How to get out of jury duty.

Just tell the judge you're prejudice against all races.
Id advise that you do your duty and be thankful about it.
Tell them you’re a black, gay conservative.
Tell them you went to law school but we’re kicked out for threatening a federal judge.
I got out of it by claiming hardship. Wrote a letter explaining that my kid's daycare closed at 5:30 and there was no way I could make it from downtown Louisville to J-town at rush hour in 30 mins if jury duty went to 5 one day. I didn't mention that my wife could just get the kids that day.
They send out enough jury summons that if you claim hardship for any reason, they'll let you out of it and move on to the next person.

Sorry you think it’s ********. Hope you never require a jury that might save your ***.
Consider it an honor to serve on a jury and go do it.

I served on a jury for a drug case once. Lasted about a week. It was like watching a live episode of law and order, fascinating. Watched the prosecutor rip up a signed agreement for a guy that was supposed to be states witness but flipped at the last minute. I would do it again in a heartbeat

No, tell them you're straight, white & pay your taxes. That disqualifies you from everything nowadays.

Second most important civic responsibilty!
I got picked to be on Jury Duty in Baltimore, MD. I showed up, went through the whole process...called each day to see if I needed to show up and after a couple of weeks they told me not to bother calling in anymore...I felt that racism made me NOT a "person" of choice. :angry:
I never get called in when I get selected either. I’m kind of disappointed because I think it would be interesting to do once: I feel like I’d be pretty impartial too. Perhaps that’s not what defense attorneys want.
On the first day wear a tee shirt that reads, "I brought the rope, let's hang the n$&%&$!" You'll be escorted right out, and asked not to ever come back.
Hanging out in Pineville for a few days is not so bad. Nice scenery change.
Defer until December. You'll only have 3 weeks. YWIA.
Do you tell students that disagree with your opinion to shut up? Make sure you create more robots like yourself. You have no business being a teacher.
I guy I worked with told me to tell the judge that according to my religion, I could not sit in judgement of my fellow man. Sounded good, but I didn't try it.
Meh.
A professional jury, that understands police procedures, forensics, etc would be much better.
Take it from a guy who has been a juror many times, and the jury foreman a couple. I would suggest doing it. The main reason to see that you are truly not going to be judged by a jury of your PEERS.
Should be extra motivation not to murder someone or rob a bank.

Cops and judges have never been bribed, threatened or influenced to create a favorable outcome. I’m sure the same would hold true for professional jurors.
In your world a trial would be judged by a government employee, prosecuted by a government employee, and decided by 12 government employees. Yeah... no thanks!
This. The average juror is biased and ill-informed. Attorneys (especially prosecutors) count on it.
Got the letter before many times, served twice. Both drug Trials.
I saw several guys/gals get out of it during the question phase where they let the prosecutors know that were against any drug laws in any form. Not sure if they actually believed what they were saying but they were dismissed pretty quickly.
