1. You should ask the judge to be excused...
just in case you become governor one day and have to pardon the accused. :)

3. Most people..
think you have to lie to get out of jury duty. You don't have to lie; tell the judge the truth. Tell him you'll make a really good juror because you can spot guilty people just by looking at them. Explain that it has to do with how far apart their eyes are. I guarantee you'll be out of that courtroom before you can say "justice sucks".....lol.....george carlin said that.

5. THe woman sitting next to me basically said she decides...
as soon as she takes a look at the person. She would have gotten excused had she been called! Luckily, neither of us were called, but a lot of people were. We kept our fingers crossed.
