All unvaxxed potential jurors dismissed. So you know only liberals will be on the Jury, prosecution has their work cut out for themselves now, as all free thinking adults left the building.

"The most frightening thing about trial by jury is that your fate is in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty."
-Mark Twain
Its not just smarts. They provide a cardboard sandwich and $15 per day as payment so juries are typically the bottom tier of society intentionally.
Hm. Everywhere I've worked has provided full salary (one requested I remit the miniscule bit of jury duty pay).
Net result has been one half day of being in a jury pool in (redacted) years.
Salary from work is separate. City only provides a pittance good for homeless
Right. I'm only pointing out that in the event I'm called up many can serve without loss of job or income, so not all juries are dindus.
Of course many people with lives want to opt out, and it's easy enough to find a reason to get excluded if you want, but then that really does select doofi. (Latin plural of doofus).
In NYC, it's $40.00
We're talking about shitbirds that either don't want jobs or can't keep jobs.
or own their own business

Last time I was called it was 5$ a day and a public water fountain was available, doesn't even cover the gas for me to get there.
I actually have to PAY TO PARK when doing jury duty because they don't provide parking. Crazy, right?
IME, If you're summoned for Jury Duty you can't say I have a good job and opt out.
I was in a pool of 100+ potential jurors and the first 70 called were excused lol. It's easy enough to get out of.
If you want to say something and opt out, "Are you familiar with Jury nullification? If not I can explain..." Is all it takes.
5 bucks in my county, and you're on your own for lunch. And as far as I know, all tiers are subject to jury duty.
Some techniques for avoiding jury duty:
Those are all good, though. I'll remember the sunglasses for sure.
You forgot this one- " Who am I to say if somebody is in the wrong? It's my belief that only God can judge a person's actions"
Last time I was called up, I would've been tossed if they ever questioned me. My luck ran out though, as I had to sit through days of them questioning other jurors, and them getting thrown out by one side or the other, and I was left as an alternate. Then before the arguments commenced, the parties settled on the 3rd day. Sheesh!
You can also tell them that you know about jury nullification
hehe what a great quote
I'm ok serving jury duty. I like judging people and arguing and my work has to pay for it anyway.
Yeah, civic duty is real. Somebody needs to make sure justice is just. But the judges treat you like cattle, and the lawyers treat you like pawns.
