Game gonna suck dick here is the important part:


I have to report to court tomorrow to see if they pick me for Jury Duty, what the gently caress do I have to do to get out of it? My grandma just said go in and be a giant racist, is it really that easy?

Say the following four words: "I'm not racist but..." and that should get you out of it.

My experiences with jury duty have been: sitting on my rear end for 2 days waiting for my name to be called, but never getting called once. And I've been called for jury duty twice in my lifetime so far.

The only reason I even remember my last jury duty was because Pope Francis got elected that week.

this is a trap answer

if the defense, for example, wants to argue that the police were negligent they'll try to keep you on the jury. Clearly the prosecution won't but they may make concessions

Nah prosecutors love stupid jurors.

Say you're an expert in forensic evidence.

Or Bayesian statistics. True story, a mathematicians testimony once got thrown out of a courtroom because a judge didn't believe Bayesian probability meant the witness was actually almost certain to be wrong.

That's right, isn't it? IIRC that was the game that caused an announcer to quip "this just isn't competitive." How the tables seemed to have turned in a year, however. Let's go Eagles!

the real trick is to get called for jury selection and then wish really hard that the case gets settled around 3:30pm so you only have to wait for 30 minutes before the day is over and then you're home by 5

If you figure out what the case they're calling you in for is, say that you have a relative that you're really close to that (was a victim/was convicted of) that crime. bias = bad, I think. IANAL, of course.

edit: or bring in a copy of The New Jim Crow, or something else about the justice system.

Could very well end up the same way tonight. Eagles just need to attack the Panthers lovely safeties, and attack Cam like they said they were going to (hit him all the time even when he doesnt have the ball on run plays). Get in Cam's head and it's game over.
