Fuck the judge's daughter.

I served once and enjoyed it.  Then I got a summons almost every year after that.  I tell them I'm a teacher and they respond that they will send me another notice during the summer.  I never hear from them during the summer.

FUCK MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!! I got picked for fucking jury duty!

Does anybody know a way to get out of this shit?

You have to go but if you don;t want to serve on a jury there are ways.

Don't play the racist card. And don't try to me smart with the Judge. Most Judges are smarter than the average person and have many years of experience with reading people.  So if you try to play the religio or race card they will scold the fuck out of you and threaten you with contempt of court.

The best way to get off a jury is to get the prosecution to dis-bar you frmo the jury.

So you get up there, answer all the questons honestly. Say you are capable of being an impartial jurist. be the perfect constitution-abiding citizen.

Then when one of the lawyers ask if there is any reason you could not serve as a jurist, just tell them that you don't trust police testimony. That you consider most police officers to be dishonest and that that you feel they will lie under oath to protect each other. But you would rule impartially and that would not bias you.  Before you go in bing search "Police abuse" in the county you are serving and familiarize yourself with a recent case. Then name drop that case.

The prosecution will release you.

The important thing is to stick to the claim that you would be an impartial jurist and happy to serve.

I would have loved to be on a jury in the US. But I never got pass the selection process.

I've only gotten to the waiting room, never got selected.

Foolz and I am about to record. What's your 10-20?

Lets give it a try

Success! Thanks for having me on.

Well thanks for all the info Aspro...lol

I have something else that maybe I can use. A guy I work with (who I can't stand) hit a girl with his car a few months ago and fled the scene. They caught him later, but the case hasn't been brought up yet. Maybe I can bring up the fact that I work with a guy who has a case pending?

Also, what if I go in screaming the lyrics to Megadeth's "The System Has Failed"?

Dawn breaks evenly today

On the truth and the lie

All rise, court's in session

We're hanging someone high

Justice means nothing today

Now that the courts are for sale

Pick a crime from the menu, pick a sentence and defend you

And pick up the down payment called bail

The system's for sale!

Kick the chair, the rope is tight

Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out

Friend or foe, I gotta hang 'em dead

Or they'll come back around

Kick it!

The court's wrong when it keeps track

Of victories and defeats

The press that never rests just waits

For somebody's soul they can eat

Justice means nothing today

Now that the jury's for sale

Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie

You're going to jail

The system has failed!

Robio Fun Fact #092341 - I'm on a special list that prevents me from ever being called for jury duty again. More than that, I'd prefer not to say.
