In my opinion it sounds like the kind of legal system that a criminal would have invented. In My opinion it should be a Jury of Judges, not a jury of regular stupid people, who not only don't understand the law, but many, like me, have never even opened a law book. Why is it that when there is a very important case, they don't let regular stupid people decide, it has to be decided by a Jury of Judges(Supreme Court). Also not only is it Stupid People, it's the "Stupidest of The Stupid". The ones who don't know how to get out of jury duty. (Begin Sarcasm) Yeah, that's who I want to decide who goes to jail, or who has to pay money to whom, The Stupidest of The Stupid!!!(End Sarcasm) Here's another excuse: Adopt a controversial viewpoint For example: All Drugs should be Legal(Don't have to pretend on that one I already believe it!),Murder should be Legal, Stealing should be legal, Rape should be legal, ETC..... Another Excuse: Make up a cousin and say that they committed a very similar crime. I Think this whole jury duty crap stinks worse than manure.

Here’s another excuse:

Adopt a controversial viewpoint For example:

Another Excuse:

Make up a cousin and say that they committed a very similar crime.

I had jury duty today and well someone broke into my car right in the courthouse parking lot! The parking lot isnt in the best place, and the fact that they dont have cameras there is really unfortunate! I tried calling around to see what i could do about it. but it seems as if no one cares.

If you are ever in a situation in which you could select a jury of your peers or a bench trial, picking trial by jury would be hypocrasy. I hate jury duty myself but because I have a conscience and believe, for the most part, our judicial system works as well as anything anybody has come up with, I will do my civic duty. Suck it up. It is usually just one day every couple years. I’m with Trish.
