Getting out of jury duty - works for me

1. I couldn't stand to be in the same room with him. Is it possible to

find a jury that would convict him, even if he shot someone on 5th Avenue?

3. for that man's trial, I would hobble in on a walker (I know, pre-judging and all that, but I'd try..

2. I would have told the judge

I don't just think that he is guilty, I KNOW that he is guilty. Then again I would have lost the opportunity to sit on his jury. And which of us could pass that up?

4. Using that standard, I couldn't be on the jury either.

6. I would say anything necessary to get on that jury

Just to be one of those who would convict regardless of the evidence. Yeah, not the idea, but I doubt any jury is 100% open-minded.

I once served on a Monmouth County jury in Freehold, NJ. Good percentage of yahoos who wanted to "teach that young kid a lesson" by convicting despite the showboating ADA's poor job of presenting the case. Yahoos started making up alternate scenarios to use as conviction rationales. Attacked me as not understanding the issue because I didn't have kids.

I told them that they absolutely weren't a jury of my peers and then I hung the jury with one other juror. Not a popular person but didn't give a shit.

Bottom line: I'll go against my own jury member values to convict the Orange Anus.

7. If I were on Trump's jury I would to everything mentally possible to set aside my biases

and reach a decision in his case purely on the evidence presented.

I believe in the principal of fair trials and would act accordingly.

8. I will follow the testimony
