I got called for jury duty for the first time ever the other day and I actually enjoyed it. I was happy to just be out of the house and distracted from my family drama. There was this one woman, prospective juror, who tried to take over the whole room and berated the lawyer. The judge had to yell at her to shut up and just answer the questions. It was hilarious. Some people went into intense details about their life’s tragedies. It was so awkward and sad. They didn’t get picked for the jury. Neither did I. I think I proved myself to be overly emotional when I put myself in the defendant’s place and said “If it were me on trial I’d want to testify to prove my innocence.” So, great tip, if anyone wants to get out of jury duty, just say that.
