I can't believe the number of people who are advocating illegal activities here. Would you all go around robbing people if there was "no way to prove" you did it?

This is more of a "I'm going to go drinking underage because I won't get caught" type of thing, aka a victimless crime.

I've been twice. Once they said they accidentally called everyone's group (it's a phone call in system where you go on the day your "letter group" is asked for) so all but a few "letters" got to go home and were excused rom that whole round of serving! The other time my dog had gotten loose (when I had a big goofy dog) and the neighbors called. I went to the desk, just to ask what time we would get a lunch break so that I could run home and deal with it or similar, and the guy let me go home.
Honesty is the best policy. And bring a book.

It's not a "victimless" crime....if you don't serve on a jury, someone else has to do it for you. It's a pretty clear 1:1 ratio.

If you have a good reason to not serve, then tell them. Otherwise, what makes your time more valuable that whoever has to replace you?

BTW, I just went to jury duty a couple weeks ago. I was actually seated in a juror seat for a drug-dealing trial (I was one of the first 12 numbers called for that trial), but the prosecution booted me when I told them I was a lawyer.

to be fair, most people don't end up having to serve and get to go home, having wasted a day. so the ratio isn't really 1:1.

Thatpfunk, wtf, were you in my house?

Nick:

everyone here is probably too smart to serve on a jury - either they'll be booted because of that or they'll be booted intentionally because it's a waste of their time.

clearly we should go back to Athenian juries which had 501 or 1001 members.

So I'm 22 years old and walk into a courtroom in Olathe, KS. First thing I get asked is what I do for a living. "I play poker." I did not end up on the jury...
