If I could I would come and do your jury duty for you :(

what is a surefire thing i can say to get me out of it

like i am thisclose to digging out my old hair dye and wearing my big piercings and making sure all my tattoos show

[riko]

The easiest way to get out of jury duty is: "I am a lawyer/law student." Then they never let you on the jury. Which is why I should come pretend to be you for four days. :D

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawddammit

I also thought about going with "I am a criminal," but they probably check that. :/

Try faking pregnancy. The one time I actually had to report in I actually was pregnant, and was released by the end of the day (it helped the defendant in the case I was called to was also pregnant).

Well I do have a shirt that tends to make me look fairly pregnant...

what no this is a terrible idea i would never do such a thing

[riko]

"I have been/am close to someone who has been a victim of a crime that is the same/substantially similar to this one" isn't a terrible one and sometimes works? As long as it's a criminal trial and not civil. :P

[attilatehbun]

You could always lie like a lying thing?

[lilpocketninja]

LOOK MAN I AM NOT THE LAWYER HERE

[riko]

It is the greatest irony that people who would actually like to be on a jury aren't allowed. Since we'd like, idk, decide based on the arguments we think the lawyers should have made an not what they actually made or judge the law not the facts or whatevs.
