Help me get out of jury duty

I have jury duty next week. If it's a drug case, I'll get out of it easily by saying that all drugs should be legalized, just like last time. But give me some ideas about how to get out of it in case it's not a drug case. I know that I can say I'm racist if the person isn't white, but I don't want to do that. Give me something good ideas, Shroomerites!

Just do the duty man, it can be a pain in the ass but it ain't that bad, and it's interesting to see how the court system really works (or doesn't ).

Say, "I cannot remain objective in this case, because anyone going to court must be guilty"
My friend got out using that line.
Just say your racist or something, it;s not liek they're going to post it on your facebook or anything. No on will know, just say you're racists and cannot remain unbiased

Nah, the only time I'd actually go though with being a juror is if I decided to do the jury nullification thing. But I can't. I need to get back to work.

I have a technique for getting out of jury duty... Just don't show up. You will not be pursued in any way, they simply do not have the resources to. They cant tell you ever got the letter.
I wouldn't mind going to jury duty if i believed in the justice system.

If it's a violent crime or something like that, say that a close friend/relative of yours was a victim of the same crime, so you want to make sure this person gets the toughest sentence possible.

Both of those were good ideas. Although I don't have the balls to not show up. It'll just cause me trouble. However, it would be funny and ironic to have to go to trial for not showing up for jury duty.

I got summoned for jury duty once. I turned in my little paper, they called for a break, and I left. A couple days later I got a $10 check in the mail for going.

Pretty much. I think an hour of playing with your poo outweighs the weeks you could spend in that fucking shit hole

Hmm, interesting. They didn't hassle you about that? Seems risky. I think I might go with the shitting in my pants idea.

as much as you talk about "because of the drug war..." and all this other bullshit, this is the one time where you, as an individual can make a difference and you'd rather let a bunch of uninformed buffoons decide the fate of someone who's life is now in your hands
while I certainly can find words to express my opinion of you on this issue and every other that you've spoken of in the past that now hinge on this moment in time I will refrain from doing so because it not only violates the rules but also because I'd rather urge you to go in to that court room and try your best to be on that jury not only because this is one of the greatest civic duties that any citizen can participate in, it places you into the legal system as something other than a statistic, but also because it allows you to decide the fate of another human being if through no other means than to inform this jury of jury nullification
please read, please participate, I'd like to change my opinion of you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification

how many people on a jury have to decide the law is immoral for jury nullification to happen?

No. I'm not doing it. And you're never going to stop the "BECAUSE OF the drug war" movement. It has too much momentum now to be stopped.
