Go and rob a bank!

Appear at the court drunk. They will never ask you again.

We have a system here where you call in every evening and see if you need to report. If you don't, you call back the next evening and keep doing that for a week. If you don't get called in, you're free. If you do have to go in, they won't let you out of it here because your job doesn't pay for jury duty time or anything like that which sucks. But I figure if I say things like "if they weren't guilty they wouldn't've been arrested" I'd be less likely to be selected.

You would have to prove that you had a good and valid reason: 1) a sickness or condition that meant you could not carry out jury duty (eg pregnancy, diabetes, MS etc depression can be considered) Of course medical proof would have to be provided. 2) you cannot understand English well enough 3) your religious beliefs do not permit you ( eg you are Jewish and cannot serve on a Saturday) I have heard though, that if you wear a large religious symbol around your neck, you will be excused, as they believe you will be prejudiced. LOL
-
Try making up some kind of lame excuse like being sick.
-
Tell them you believe the death penalty should be applied to shoplifters, adulterers, and vagrants and those guilty of murder should all go free. I guarantee that will get you out of jury duty!
-
You can enroll in college classes, or when you get there say you have a hardship. Mine was I worked with children who had Autism. I only sat in the court for one day but never got picked for a case because of it.
-
Not to sound like my grandmother, but serving on a jury is your civic duty. It's a kind of volunteering we do as citizens. I've served and it's no big hassle. in fact, it can be very interesting and you can learn something. More than that, you're ensuring that the justice system, such as it is, continues to work. God forbid you ever end up needing a jury of your peers and it ends up being unemployed people who have nowhere better to go for the day.
-
if you have a job at which your absence would cause a hardship you will be excused.
-
Death, your own.

There are only a few reasons to get out of jury duty: if your place of employment could not continue without you being there, you are to ill to come, or have no way to get there. However once you are there they ask you many questions and you can say you can not be a fair and impartial jury member, they will excuse you. Under no circumstance should you not show up you have to call and say you are sick or can't get there.
-
Produce a medical certificate to show that you are too sick or prove that you are indispensable to your workplace. Very little else. You can of course tell them on arrival that you do not think you could be impartial or give answers that would let them think that your opinion would be anti establishment and therefore against the prosecution.
-
LET EVERYONE HEAR YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE IS GUILTY JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM.
-
Lie.
-
If you can get a Doctor's appointment on the same day it seems to work. Plus if you just happen to some how know a lot about the trials before they start, that may drop you out of it..............M.C.S.
-
You don't. Do your duty, give the accused a fair trial, then hang the fuck.
-
You could say that you're biased about something to do with the case.
-
Why would you want to?
-
Tell them you've been watching CSI: Miami and American Justice and you'll judge the accused based on the outcomes of the show..
-
Why do you want to? If you don;t have a legitimate reason, why don't you want to go? Be a good citizen and chip in where you can..
-
Fall asleep. Act bored. It's amazing to me how many people want to know WHY or feel they need to educate someone else on the importance of jury duty. If you are the sole source of (self employed)income for your family and just had a baby, it can be VERY stressful to be called for Jury duty. You just never know how long you would have to serve!
-
Hide behind the judge...;)
-
I have served twice in 10 years and I have heard everything from "i have a doctor's appointment" to "my job doesn't pay me for the days out on jury duty" to "I am a racist."
-
Get arrested and convicted of a felony. You will never have to worry about jury duty again.
-
Take the new diet pill Alli and eat whatever you want. You will fart and greasy poo will come out, if they don't want the jury room and court room smelling like a commode, they will excuse you.
-
What if you told the judge you refuse?
-
I was called for jury duty and i basically told them i have three kids and no child care, that was enough to be let off. Something else that works is telling them that your racist (even if your not) and that because of this you could not be unbiased in your decisions. That should work and get you out of doing it.
-
Just ignore the notice and pretend you never got it or just tell them you moved.
-
Act like a dunce during jury selection.
-
best thing to do while doing ur duty is to fall asleep and agree with the person next to u worked for me had a good 4 hrs sleep lol
