    I was in a jury selection where a crime was committed by an African american.  One of the potential jurors basically admitted to being racist And said that he cannot be unbiased.

    Telling them your brother, dad, and uncle are cops and you think they get the right guy 98% of the time should work.  OTOH why do you want to get out of it if you don't  have a good reason?  One of the reasons we get idiotic verdicts  like Stella being awarded over a million dollars because she spilled hot coffee on herself is because juries tend to be made up of people from the ranks in society.  People above that tend to use excuses to get out of it.

    @CYDdharta, I agree.  Cop story is often effective

    I know about Jury nullification and I think (name of law criminal is being charged of breaking) is wrong so I will vote not guilty no matter what. I will tell all the other people about Jury nullification and try and convince them the law is as well. So what time do I have to show up at court. : ) 

    Works every time. ; )

    Tell them that your going to a party that day. Go into detail on how you will be getting high AF and that you’ll be too stoned to even stand. Works every time. If your in a legal state...
