Saying that you will just pick whichever result everyone else picks so you can go home faster? Or saying that you are antagonistic by nature and will always disagree with the concensus?

Asking for a friend.

Just not going is the fastest way. Everything else is dumb.

I would imagine either could get you found to be in contempt of court.

I just told them that I was managing a project that was going live the week that they wanted me to show up. They said they’d re-schedule me and I never heard back from them.

Ask them if they can reschedule you into December. Nothing goes to trial around the holidays.

Just don’t lie about anything for crying out loud.

Talk about jury nullification and they will dismiss you with the quickness.

Here's a hint for avoiding jury duty in LA altogether: Do NOT register to vote.

They select jurors by voter registration, no registration = no records to pull your name from.

It's not like your vote matters anyway, politicians gonna do politician things regardless of voter desires.

Or you could do your civic duty and try your best to prevent a BS verdict.

I sat through a jury selection recently. Basically say you hate cops and they’ll kick you out. The judge did make one guy stay the whole day because it was obvious what he was trying to do.

You know what got me out of jury duty? Telling the truth.
It was a mesothelioma case regarding asbestos. As soon as the paralegals heard what I did for my job....they all started writing. I got cut by the first break.

What do I do? I'm a systems safety engineer with pipefitting experience. They wanted no part of that. They wanted people that could only think about what they said in court, not people who had real life experiences as the plaintiff.

Shitting yourself in the jury selection room is not a bad idea.

All this board does is bitch about attorneys and especially ambulance chasers. Why don’t you perform your civic duty so that there isn’t 6-12 dumbass jurors

They’ve gone to using driver’s license or something, otherwise I would have not been called the last 3 times.
