That was exactly what I was thinking!  If it were me, I wouldn't want someone else to just skim over the evidence just so they could get done faster.  How lame is that?  I just think people need to THINK when they go into the jury room..."what would I want if the situation were reversed???"  That's all I did.  Not looking for accolades or trying to be a pain in the booty...just trying to use the Golden Rule.

Don't believe her... she was just wanting another day off work.  If you met her bosshole, you'd understand.  HEHEHEHE!  Just kiddin... Pambo really is  the stand-up kind of person who strives to do the right thing.

I had Federal Jury duty for 6 months, served on two juries, one was a drug bust which we found the guy guilty, and the other was assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon, in this case the weapon was a car the guy had driven straight into the officers door.

Sure Fire Method to Get Out of Jury Duty

As this turns out to be a popular topic, here’s a list to help:

1. Any disability will get you out of duty. Get diagnosed with a learning disability or maim yourself. Gouging out the eyes works particularly well.
2. Enroll in college. College students typically think for themselves. No lawyer wants a free-thinking bozo on their jury.
3. Grow old. Anyone over 70 years old gets an auto excuse. Anyone with saggy balls is not automatically exempt.
4. Forget how to speak English for the day. It’s not lying if you really can’t remember.
5. Commit a crime. Being convicted or even charged with a felony will help you get the boot. Some lawyers may consider this a bonus, try this technique at your own risk!
6. Let the court know you really don’t want to serve. After all, the court system really cares about your needs.
7. Act like a bigot. Or a racist. Remember the good old boy jokes your uncle Jimmy used to crack? You may have a crowd of hostile black men waiting outside, but you’re sure to be excused. Better yet, a crowd of pissed of lesbians could be waiting. (Note: for some, it’s not necessary to pretend. In this case, just act normally.)
8. Attempt to pick up one of the lawyers. Better yet, hit on the judge. This may have a two-fold benefit. You could get out of jury duty and you could get a date.

Strangely enough, my freshman year in school, I was selected for the pool of jurors, despite not living in the same town or even county any longer. If there had been a case, I would have had to attend. So moving away doesn’t always work to get out of duty.

But maybe jury duty isn’t such a bad thing. You get free lunch!

I hope I'm not the one on JD's trial...he'll lock me up for sure

well uhhh let me see...I am guilty. I'll go to jail.

thats just the kinda guy they like on the scumbag trials. If they put a buch of clean cut guys on say a biker murder they will go to jail for sure. If you put scumbags on scumbags trials they will get off....did that make sense? or was I rambling?

just make sure and have a really strong opinion of everything they ask. Ask them to define everything in other words annoy the hell out of them and maybe you'll get dismissed.
