How? Postponements are easy...how do you get out of it altogether?

Wear an NRA ball cap to the jury selection process, you are gone.

I once wanted to be selected to a murder trial jury and had to be very selective and creative with some questions/answers, and was selected...the trial never happened, the guilty perp plead out to avoid the death penalty.

Not in Colorado. I wore my Front Sight t-shirt for jury selection. Wrote of my NRA life membership on the questionnaire. I was the first selected.

The logo on the Front Sight t-shirt says "You are the weapon, your pistol is just a tool".

I have served on seven or eight juries over a nine year span. One was for murder, several civil cases, drug cases, and assault cases. Elected foreman for most of these trials.

I am actually kind of shocked that I got on this many, my brother in law is a police officer and my uncle is a retired police officer.

The murder case was one I thought I would be kicked from for sure, but amazingly wasn’t. Tons of circumstantial evidence, an eye witness, and then the idiot defense lawyer put the defendant on the stand and he hung himself, the prosecutor shredded him. Death penalty was off the table so he ended up with 25 yrs. before eligible for parole.

By far the worse cases were the civil trials, lots of video taped medical testimony, bored to tears, I even caught the judge dozing off once and the clerk gently tapped the wall next to him to wake him.
