Jury summons...

I had a question about a request to be excused from jury duty...
I am not licensed to drive and have no family member available to transport me to the courthouse during the daytime, and don't know of a reasonable way to take a bus to the courthouse... should this be sufficient to request to be excused from jury duty due to lack of transportation?

If I actually get called in I'll hope for chances to mention my understanding of jury nullification... the prosecutor should hopefully decide to remove me from any jury if I knew about that, they hate jury nullification.
I hope I can get excused, though... It would be extremely difficult for me to arrange transportation.

Tell them "you can spot a guilty person anywhere".
Then your off the hook.

I got a summons once and for various reasons it would have been really inconvenient so I just ignored it. It's not like they send it registered mail, they can't prove you got it. I've had a cop run my plates since then with no problems. YMMV.

With a fine of over $1,000 possible for ignoring the summons... I'd rather not risk it.
I will be requesting an excusal though. I've stated that I cannot drive, cannot be driven by a family member, and due to being unfamiliar with both the region the courthouse is located in and with the public transit of the area I would risk becoming lost and disoriented were I required to use public transportation to attend as a juror.
Now I have to hope that someone agrees with me.
The worst-case scenario is that I actually get selected for a trial (not likely for an opinionated person 19 years of age) and get paid a lucrative $15 per day
