  It would appear my time has come :fail3:
  
  Well then, best get this over with. I have a month to prepare/brace for it.
  
  I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get out of it due my inability to tell a lie, I'm too honest in life.
  
  Oh well, may as well do my civic duty and weigh in on a person's fate.

  No, because I'm not going to swear in court. That would be dishonorable and that's not something I'm willing to stoop to the level of.
  
  Plus, in the presence of the law and criminals, it's best to keep your manners about you in case you anger the wrong people.
  
  As much as I dislike something, I fear confrontation a whole lot more. That may be my only way out is that I'm not very good at working with others and may have a hard time working with other jurors.

  There are like, 9000 ways to get out of jury duty without being "dishonorable".
  
  Granted I don't know why you'd want to. I dream of the day I get called for jury duty and get to rule over someone's fate.

  When they line you up and make you look at the person in question, laugh, or smile, or frown, or stick out your tongue.
  
  Essentially, do anything that'll make it look like you've made an assumption already.

  Yeah no, there are no legit ways to get out of it. And even if you do make an excuse you will be re assigned to come in at a later date that month so its not like there are ways to get out of it. And if you do lie about certain things and they turn out to be untrue you will be forced to pay a hefty fine. Refusing to do it also ends with you having to pay a fine as well. So its either get your free money / essential days off where you just sit around doing nothing half the time or pay them a couple hundred bucks because sitting around is to much of a pain for you to do for a couple of days.

  Of course there are legit ways, not so legit if you end up lying about them to get off.

  I said I'm biased and make my decisions on who's guilty or not by their appearance
  Not true and sounds shallow but worked

  Just say you're an expert on the legal system because you watched all the law and orders. I'm sure you'll be right out.

  3 times I've been summoned for jury duty, and 3 times I've never been selected for a trial. Only once did I actually see the inside of a courtroom and that was just for the juror screening, and I was not one of the jurors selected. I answered all questions honestly, showed no bias in my expressions or my responses, and just read a book I brought along with me while I waited for decisions to be made. For most people it's just a morning/afternoon of your time. It's only 12 out of 40 or 50 people screened per trial who get stuck with the case. Just be less appealing to the attorneys than the 12 selected. *shrug*
