I received a jury summons in the mail today, for the first time. Surprising, as I've only been a legal adult (in the States) for a year.
States that my service is for one trial, although supposedly they can go on for a while. Dunno the probability of actually being selected. I'm assuming that being #175 means there are at least 174 others in the raffle, and probably a lot more.
Anyway, now I'm really curious about the subject so I thought I'd ask my anonymous internet acquaintances.

If you make it to the jury selection stage of a jury duty summons and don't want to do it, simply state that you think the person accused is guilty because the judicial system is infallible. Your be dismiss shortly there after. In Michigan the system keeps you on retainer for two weeks where they can keep having you show up and repeat the process. If this is the case in your state simply repeat the first sentence until your time is done...]
