Tell them you have a vendetta against the accused, and you'll be allowed to avoid duty!

i'd still have to wait around all day for my ride. i might as well be a juror member and get paid (right??)...

It's your duty to society. But society sucks... jury duty sucks.

Maybe it'll be an interesting case? Probably not, but I wish the best. My dad had jury duty and he half enjoyed cause it was real complex, forget the details though.

i wouldn't mind if not for the no electronics (discman including) rule. so no music while i wait around all day. i'm bringing the book i'm reading, american psycho, and maybe some blank paper for me to write down ideas on.

In the UK you seem to (my mum had to do jury duty) have to do several cases if they're short, therefore giving a reason for not being able to be on the jury wouldn't save you more than a few hours.
Why not claim to be an eliteist who thinks that all the people are guilty as they don't contribute to society as much as you?

Nice one Ceri! But hey - you may get a case like OJ and be required for jury service for a couple of weeks!!! Had you thought about that?

that was what was supposed to happen, the jurors rejected from one trial were to be recycled into another trial. but i wasn't called for 4 hours. when i got to the trial, i actually WAS selected to be a juror - until they saw me SMIRKING. i thought it was funny they picked me cos everyone told me they wouldn't cos i'm just 19. anyway the defense probably figured i wouldn't take it seriously and revoked my spot on the jury. cool with me. all the people not used like myself got to leave by 2pm while the other fuckas had to stick around till their trials were over.

Cool, now all we have to do if we get selected is smirk and we won't have to do it! ;)

"What are you smirking at sonny!" .. or . . "You think this is funny do you? You do realise this trial is gonna last at least 4 months don't you???"
....that'd be my luck!!
