Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

The judge calls you to approach the bench and asks you what your excuse for not being able to serve as juror, what do you say?

I'd like to hear ya'lls excuses.

Mine was "I will pick the person who lies less regardless of the evidence. And I'll pick the person that is least likely to return back to food stamps, meth, making illegitimate children, and would probably contribute most to society"

Just say youre an anarchist and reject state power as inherently abusive and illegitimate, and that your conscience would compel you to return a verdict of not guilty regardless of the facts of the case.

I don't make any excuses. I just sit in the juror lobby and never get called.

Every time i just tell them that i empathize with whoever is gonna make less money in the case because the judge and his cronies are gonna take 50% anyways and i might as well drag them down since i dont have any other kind of power.

Was some sort of property case involving a church. Priest was there wearing a bright purple button-up shirt with a huge fugoff cross around his neck.
Judge or lawyer(I forget) asks me if There is anything that would prevent me from making a fair decision. I point to the priest and say "I already hate this guy. Looks like he should be giving communion at a Lakers game."
5 minutes later I was out of there

I got picked for a murder trial so my job had to pay me to sit in court for a week and listen to a man get gunned down on a 911 call over and over.

Changes the pace for a bit, I suppose.

If you ever have to actually show up for jury duty you're doing it wrong. Just work out of the country. I've missed out on about a decade of jury duties because of college and work. They'll never get me.

No, I don't work for dickholes. Long time ago when I worked in retail, my manager was super-pissed that I had jury duty. I was only gone for 1 day too. So I'm guessing that happens to people who have those kinds of jobs?

This will just result in you being placed into an all white jury judging a white cop for the shooting of a "thug".

It was $20 a day for me. But my job reimburses up to 2 weeks of pay on top of that.

Unfortunately, no,(except in a couple of states)although by any logic they should.

Many decent jobs for larger companies will, and most/all government jobs will, but the poo poo jobs won't pay you. And although they're not supposed to, some of them will gently caress with you over it, too.

That's why there's always a preponderance of retireees, SAHM's, and government workers on the juries when it's a long, drawn-out case.

Edit: there's a couple of states that mandate pay, Connecticut, for one.

About 10 years ago when I was on jury duty, the courts paid me $15 a day or something. My job paid me my normal hourly wages if I showed proof that I went(letter from the court) AND gave them the money the court gave me. I of course did the first and didn't do the second and they never called me on it. I was the alternate juror too so I didn't even have to actually judge the guy.

Your honor, I'm really really gay so I should probably be excused.
