This is pretty funny. [laugh] I can certainly understand the judges' response but this guy makes some good points.
From "The Smoking Gun":
In no uncertain terms, a Montana man tells judge why he won't serve
APRIL 30--There are probably better ways to avoid jury duty than the approach recently taken by a Montana man. After Erik Slye, 36, received a jury notice earlier this year, he filed a notarized affidavit seeking to be excused from serving on a District Court panel in Gallatin County. Slye's caustic affidavit, which he prepared with help from his wife Jennifer, can be found below. The document, of course, did not sit well with court officials and led a judge to threaten to jail Slye. But after being summoned to court, Slye apologized for the affidavit and avoided being cited on a criminal failure to appear rap. And he also was excused from serving on a jury.

I'm surprised he didn't get thrown in the "klink" for the disrespectful language toward the Judge.
I was called for Jury duty and luckily or unluckily I was scheduled for surgery during the time listed so I couldn't be called.
They thanked me and said possibly another time. Dolph
I got out of it by telling the judge that I wanted to hear the arguments before I could form an opinion either way on a question during jury selection. I was dismissed.
Also Not registering to vote helps.

(it's either that or lock it now before the shitstorm)
If they don't send them via certified mail then they have no legal way to know it was received. TRASH.
I got selected for jury duty in AZ (where I'm a legal resident). I checked the box that said ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY, recheck in 6 months. That was 3+ years ago...
Just walk in and immediately point at any random person and exclaim, "Hey!!! Is that the guilty feller? If we convict 'em do we get tickets to watch 'em fry?"
