I don't understand why people want to get out of jury duty, it's probably the biggest privilege Americans have, to be tried in front of a jury of your peers. If regular folks skip out of jury duty who's going to be deciding the fate of those charged with crimes?
Of course a lot of you could just send your posts on here to the judge and get immediately excused.  |
Lol. It’s a pretty well recognized fact that a seated jury is 90% comprised of people not smart enough to duck jury duty and 10% of civic-minded souls such as yourself.
I don’t do jury trials, but I rather suspect your types are the ones to watch out for in voir dire.
