Best excuse ever to get out of jury duty

New Wrinkle On Avoiding Jury Duty
In no uncertain terms, a Montana man tells judge why he won't serve

APRIL 30--There are probably better ways to avoid jury duty than the approach recently taken by a Montana man. After Erik Slye, 36, received a jury notice earlier this year, he filed a notarized affidavit seeking to be excused from serving on a District Court panel in Gallatin County. Slye's caustic affidavit, which he prepared with help from his wife Jennifer, can be found below. The document, of course, did not sit well with court officials and led a judge to threaten to jail Slye. But after being summoned to court, Slye apologized for the affidavit and avoided being cited on a criminal failure to appear rap. And he also was excused from serving on a jury. (1 page)

I thought the right way to be excused from jury duty is to tell the Judge that you'll be the best jurer they've ever had because you can spot guilty people the minute they walk into the courtroom......

Lmfao. That was an exact quote from the fark comments thread from this article. Nice.
 
See, the judges are idiots. He said he doesn't believe in the system which is basically saying the fun phrase "jury nullification" and always gets you excused (I think it's legal that they excuse you).

Word has it once you get that age you gotta sling email over your leg to keep em dry whilst taking a dump.:lol:






Either that or get a ball bra.
 
They keep sending jury notices to old addresses of mine. One to my parents address. We mailed it back with "not at this address" on the front. So far so good. No warrants out for arrest.

Second time to an old apartment. Did the same. So far so good. Eventually they are going to catch up to me at my current address.

Last and only jury I served on was a Federal case in a Federal bldg in Newark, NJ in 1994. Last day of that service the judge walks in to thank us for our service, and said that it was just announced that the Ok City building was bombed. There we were sitting in a Federal Bldg. Weird.
