I’m not trying to avoid jury duty.
Oh. Well then.
Unfortunately, my beliefs are much the same as my daughter’s and because of that, my honesty would preclude me from ever being chosen. She doesn’t necessarily want to avoid jury duty, but from experience, she is always eliminated by one side or the other.
So she looks forward to the selection day(s) as days off from work with pay!
I don’t try to avoid jury duty either. I just tell them exactly what I think and my reasons for thinking that way, and I usually wind up poisoning a large contingent of the jury pool. Then I ask to be considered for a nice civil case which doesn’t involve consumer abuse because I’m opinionated about that, too. If I’m empaneled, I consider employing jury nullification if appropriate. (The one time I was empaneled, the case was tossed. One of the LEO’s refused to cancel his vacation to testify, but the case would have been tossed anyway because there was a time period when the suspect was unobserved and, according to his attorney, somebody else could have shoved him under his truck while he was asleep with his trousers around his ankles).
