Listen, personally, I would not want to do jury duty. Who am I to judge and say when someone guilty or innocent. I know that in NY you get a summons for jury duty and then they ask you a series of questions, and based upon your answers they decide whether or not you're fit to serve. So I guess if you answer the questions wrong, you're free and clear.

Go down, when they ask if you know of any reason why you shouldn't serve on the jury give a reason like mine:
As a victim of the Vile and Corrupt Family Court System I could never find another individual guilty of anything, because no matter how hard the prosecution proves it I would not subject them to this court which I can only assume is every bit as Vile and Corrupt.
Or you might say something like He/She is guilty, can I go now!

In Colorado, you are allowed 2 excused Jury duties a year. Just think about it, in the criminal justice system your fate is in the hands of 12 jurors who were too dumb to get out of jury duty!

In Wayne County, Michigan (home of the Motor City) you can postpone once for good cause. If you do that, you're expected to show up -- not call in, show up -- on your reschedule date. If you don't, you can be cited or arrested for contempt of court, and they don't play around here. You blow off jury duty and you'll be dragged in front of a judge to explain yourself. Best thing to do is go in and get it over with.

There was time when being a crappy citizen was not something you would want people to know. I hope you get arrested and only turds like you show up for your jury trial.

Twice by law. It can be for reasons of health, travel or other reasons. But beyond that you are expected to serve the third time or a contempt of court citation is issued.

You can postpone your jury duty as long as you want provided you have valid reasons.

In some States, you cannot postpone jury duty. You have to serve. (I'm serving now.)

Just go serve. If you go to court, you will expect people to show up for your jury.

county by county laws; depends on where you live. Call your county Jury Clerk's office and find out the law there.
