well I skipped out on the last one and they sent me a harshly worded reschedule letter, so here I am.
My mother once had the police show to her work to make her go, and that was just for possible selection...like me right now

inform them that the defendant in question happens to listen to hiphop.. as a result, you wouldn't make a good juror and be excused.. lol.. it's worth a shot

I always wanted to get on a jury for a trial of some stupid law so that I could exercise some good old jury nullification. I never get picked, though. The lawyers just don't seem to like people with even a modicum of intelligence.

Try the Carlin approach to get out of it.
Say you can tell if someones guilty "just by looking at em!"

THAT is funny. Really though, if they knew he listened to hip hop, you wouldn't need a trial.
