Got jury duty - how do I get out of it?
 

Anyone know?

Someone told me to say that I am in business for myself etc. and that it would be a hardship for me financially.

Just postpone it. :1orglaugh You know if you act all crazy and say "Whoever it is, I'm just going to vote guilty!" They will take you out of it.... Seriously... but they might throw you in some care center

Say you're racist against everything.

It was already postponed, new date set for May 17th.

Say you are gay, racist, and have a third nipple.

just go....when they call you up and introduce the premise of the case, they will ask you if there is a conflict of interest. then you just tell them that you can't stand lawyers, or you were involved in a similar crime or something and they will dismiss you on the spot. and then you'll get 2-3 years without being bothered by jury duty again

They asked me if I had to take the word of the defendant vs the word of a cop whom would I choose... I said, I would believe the cop because he gets paid to tell the truth... I was outta there so fast, it was a beautiful thing :1orglaugh

Cool, but what I am talking about is this......
They sent me some card and on the card it says that if you wish to be dismissed call this number 5 days before your reporting date. So I need something to say on the phone. I should have been more clear.
:glugglug

say you cant make it and would like to reschedule... I think you can blow it off once...

Already did.
:glugglug

In a very polite manner call them and ask 'Could you please tell me if there will be any ******s, kikes or faggots on the jury with me? I am allergic to them.'

postpone it :thumbsup

Why not do your civic duty and just add it to your collection of life experiences. Its not that bad, and its pretty interesting.

Cause I am too busy.

Keep postponing it!

Tell them your fucking nuts.

Just go and do your freaking duty ..Nothing personal, but everyone always bitches about this or that, then they never want to do their part. Just think maybe someday you may need a jury of you're peers. I'm guessing you might want some decent people to sit on that jury, instead of some piece of shit that was too stupid to figure a way out, or better yet just wants the paycheck..

Lame excuse.

Too busy to spend 8 hours out of your lifetime to serve on a jury. At least be honest and say you're just too fuckin selfish to give up 8 hours of your precious time being a pornographer.

The judge will understand, everyone knows that pornographers are the pillars of society.

Ok, so I go and make $30 per day while sitting on a jury. What if it is a murder trial or something and I am stuck there for a month?

say you have a really bad case of blue balls and you're having trouble sitting for extended periods of time

So I should go poor and lose work and not pay my bills to do my "civic duty?" Fuck that.

yes. move afghanistan. you will not have to worry about these annoyances there.

First..forget that excuse about financial hardship..they wont buy it..trust me because I just got called in for jury duty about a month ago and tried that myself.

Your best bet is to show up and..

A. Hope you dont get selected (happened to me and I got off)

B. If you do get selected, you still will be 'interviewed' by the attorneys, ect. Say that you are racist, strongly believe in capital punishment, ect. Things of that nature..

C. Say that you are taking care of someone that is very ill and co-dependentl, ect and they are depending on you to care for them.

Thanks.

Well, when I went and did my jury duty that just happened to be the case.. (no pun intended) I had a floor cleaning biz at that time, and one of the trials was expected to be several weeks long. I didn't get picked, and if I would have been I would have been royally screwed. But it's kinda the price you pay to have your freedoms.

You have to be willing to work for your freedoms if you expect them to work for you.

Tell them you are a pornographer and you don't have the morals and values needed to sit on a jury.

That's exactly what I tell them every time and they've never demanded I show up.

Now that's an idea! :thumbsup
