Jury Duty....
 

Can anyone tell me what happens if you blantly blow off jury duty? I got it a few months ago & got out of it, but I just got it AGAIN! There's no way I'm goin' to it, but I wanna know what's gonna happen to me if I can't get out of it this time & end up blowing it off.
Anyone?

You go to jail. Simple as that. You can get out of it though. Tell them that you'd love to do your part to put all these goddamned minorities in jail. You know they're all guilty of something. Then tell them you work in porn. You shouldn't have to worry about jury duty.

It's simple to get out of jury duty. Just tell them your a huge rascist, auto-disqualification.

That's what I was thinkin' about doin', cuz last time I said that I couldn't afford to miss a day of work. But I think they're gonna not buy that this time.

yes, what they said.... it may not be the most honorable way to get out of it, and ive heard there's other ways.... BUT, if you just say that you are racist, like the other posts mentioned, you won't get picked, unless it is a trial for a klansman

LOL...not too many of those in the city of Chicago...but the Defandants' lawyers would love that if that were the case!

act like u have turretts... nothing bugs a judge more than some jury member sitting there twitching all day :)

I dunno. I would feel bad about skipping it, because quite frankly, I think people should get a fair trial, and rarely do...

One of the most frighteningly true quotes about our legal system...

"A jury of my peers would be smart enough to get out of jury duty"

LOL...and shouting obscenities outta nowhere! :1orglaugh

format c:

I have too much to do to sit thru all that...'sides, I could give a shit if a criminal gets a fair trial or not. Let the bleeding heart liberals sit thru that shit & think they're doing the world justice.

I was saving that for my last resort.

Just tell them that you can tell if someone is guilty just by looking at them!


:winkwink:

Get a criminal record. I can not be used for jury service do to the fact I have a criminal record..Just go and smoke some weed in the local police station, fuck it $100 fine and no jury duty ever for the rest of your life.

go dressed like a KKK member should work

Try being honest... tell them you are self employed and cannot afford to miss a day... or your bills will go unpaid... works even better if you have a family or at least a wife dependant on you. Rarely will they insist in that case. They never have on our cases when we were called.

Well to be truthful, I have never been called up for some reason. He has several times and the self employed worked every time but the time he had a cast on his leg, then they wanted him to report in... so he said send a car with a wheelchair. An hour later they called back and the judge had excused him. :1orglaugh

do you have to be a citizen to go to jury duty????

fuck jury duty....no system is gonna pay me 5 dollars a day to participate ina witch trial...I never went and I dont plan on ever going..i told them im self employed and I cant go

Fuck dude..tell them you are a criminal..tell you what I will give you some of my convictions...what is your email address I will send you "an assault", "a serious theft" all via pay pal...

kinda like krome said

tell them you cant come to jury duty because you have warrants out for your arrest?

do you have to be a citizen to go to jury duty????

Registered voter. ;-)

Claim having a record, trust that the head bailiff will be looking you up in the system... no record?! Bench warrant!! :1orglaugh

In Ohio (used to be anyway) even convicted felons had to go down to the courts to be released from duty and it was ONLY felons that were excused. (they have no rights as voters or anything else) Misdemeanors didn't count or they'd be hard pressed to ever mount a jury of 12. :winkwink:

Exactly..go and run up a couple hundred parking fines in the next few hours..park directly blocking the doors to the local police station...Even better do it dressed as a Klansman..fuck it even better, dressed as a Klansman with a chicken on the end of your knob...

hey if you have a go out of jail free card its no problem....

LMAO! I think that's what I'm goona do! :thumbsup

Just wear yoru gofuckyoruself.com tea shirt

If you live in California, just show up and tell them you have family obligations or work obligations that prevent you from serving on a jury. The key is to show up and explain.

Jury duty would be fun, you could request the death penalty for something really minor, he he he.

Tell them you are a pornographer and you lack the morals and values to be a fair jury members. You'll never be called up again.

Go and serve your time. I know it sucks, but it is your civic duty, and it is really no big deal. It can even be interesting.

Take your laptop with you and start editing and correcting pictures of porn, while your waiting to be called. If the judge asks just promise him a date with Jemma Jameson.

Seriously, tell them you're a self employed pornographer and and want to do your bit. No one will want you anywhere near a trial. You will be truthful and honest and will not get messed with.

Mess with a judge and he may hold you in contempt or just keep you in the jury room for 3 weeks.

nah...just tell them you dont speak english
