I heard a woman get out of jury duty once. She was the wife of police officer, and when she was asked if that would tend to make her believe what a police officer testified more, she said "I think it would make me totally and completely believe anything a cop testified to." She was immediately released from jury duty, with a big smile on her face. They ended up choosing a whole new jury, since they figured what she said might have influenced the jurors already picked that heard her.
The defense attorney that asked her the question sure got a red face. He knew he messed up.
My Mom got a jury summons last year, which was the 4th or 5th time she has been called. I sent the county clerk a nice letter that explained that my Mom was not only 95 years old, but also that she now has to live in a dementia ward to keep her from wandering away. I suggested that having my Mom on a jury would almost certainly give a good reason for an appeal, no matter what the case was or what the verdict was. The clerk"s office sent me a letter that said my Mom would not be required to appear. I wonder if they will ever summon her again? You would think that they would know that most people in their 90"s are no longer fit to serve.
I on the other hand, have never been called for jury duty. I think I would enjoy serving, if I ever got the chance.
I bet that there is a question on the juror form that asks if serving would prove to be an undue hardship. They really don"t want people to be jurors that have a good reason for not wanting to be there. Good luck!
