I’ve never been called for jury duty but if I were I’d be happy to go and do it.

I've been called multiple times. Each time, I have the choice between perjuring myself or being dismissed. I finally got tired of it and checked the "Yes" box on if I have a physical or mental condition that would prevent me from serving. In the explanation box, I wrote "too intelligent". I've not been bothered since.

Sorry if I sound arrogant, but the fact is that they just don't want overly intelligent people on juries anymore.

“I’ve never been called for jury duty but if I were I’d be happy to go and do it.”

This probably isn’t gonna come out right but considering you’ve never served, with all due respect your comment is uninformed.

I’ve been called 4 times in 10 years. Last time was just this March. 1st time I ended up on a jury, 2nd and 3rd I didn’t get picked. last time I was in a group of 35 people that a jury was to be selected from but the trial was “continued” so we all got released with our civic duty completed in the eyes of the court.
My personal opinion......I’ll do it if called but it’s a PITA if you ask me.

You find yourself on a murder trial jury with the death penalty hanging in the balance and I suspect you may change your view of jury duty. Thats a heavy weight when your actually in the middle of it....just my 2 cent....and then some. 🙂
