LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve seen people try a lot of ways to get out of Jury Duty... but you know, I cna’t understand ANY of them (except perhaps being terminally ill or seriously ill or something.... if you can drive yourself to the doctor and don’t need an ambulance, I’d say that’s not a good enough excuse)
My wife and I were both called for jury duty at the same time. We home school, so there was an issue with coverage for the kids. We respectfully asked that my wife be deferred (not released - but call her up next time) so one of us would be available to be with our 8 y.o.
No dice, of course.
In the end, the trial was cancelled, so we served without having to show up. But I still wonder about the infinite stupidity of requiring a husband and wife with young children to have to show up for the same trial. We have no family in this area, so there’s no such thing as a free babysitter, either.
I understand rules must be enforced, but stupid rules make for stupid enforcement.
