She’s just a punk trying to scam her way out of jury duty. It backfired.
Like I tell my wife, if you don’t want to hear the answer, don’t ask the question. Would the Judge have liked it better if she lied and then they had to throw the conviction (if any) out when someone complained later?
Nonsense. This could have happened to me.
I was being questioned for a slip-and-fall case. The judge asked me if I had any preconceived notions about the case. (They were looking for the last juror, and I would have been happy to be selected. All the dolts, including two lawyers who were questioned before I was, answered, "No.") I told the judge, "Of course, I do." He then asked me if I could put those notions aside and I told him that I didn't think I could act as if had never learned or experienced anything. He also asked me if I would apply the law as he explained it to me. I told him that I expected that I would be able to, but if he told me something I knew to be obviously wrong I probably wouldn't be able to forget what I knew. I wasn't trying to be excused. I was being honest.
And WTF (first word "Who") do these judges think they are anyway? Where does a judge get off ordering something that is clearly illegal?

That makes no sense. She didn’t list Italians and she didn’t list the judge himself, the defendant or the lawyers. She listed ethnicities irrelevant to the case. :)
