I learned to always postpone and select a date closest to Christmas. I never got the exact day I selected but 4 out of the 4 times I did this I didn't have to report. I have ulcerative colitis so now I am permantly excused.

This is funny because I too was selected for jury duty. I forgot to call Monday night so I have no idea if I was selected or if I will get in trouble for not calling?

Penis tip: wear Chiefs gear, prosecution will think you’re a dumbass and scratch you.

It really depends on the judge. One might roll his/her eyes and decide it's too much trouble, and excuse you. Another one might get upset and threaten to hold you in contempt if you follow through--although it might be tough proving that you *deliberately* voted against the process rather than simply voting according to your genuine belief.

Of course, even if they cannot ultimately prove that you are in contempt, the process would be a pain. It might be easier to just say that you have an issue with the law itself, and you will try to encourage "jury nullification" due to your genuine beliefs on the matter.

Two words: jury nullification

I figure there is a really good chance my number wasnt called and they will leave me alone.

Tell them that you are very excited for jury duty because you can tell if someone is guilty by just looking at them- you'll get dismissed right away.

Last time I was called, (every other year for 20 years).
A kind police officer left himself in the pool. (and should have been excluded.)

When asked if he knew the defendant he spoke up with a reply (I shit you not),"Not for this case but for another one."
Talk about a poison Jury pool...lol

I got selected for jury duty a few years ago and actually enjoyed it. It helps that I get paid time off through my employer for jury duty, so I purposely got selected as a juror to stick it to my boss. I just got a survey for federal jury duty in Florida so I don’t what’s involved with that if they end up having me come in.

Is there any way to know if I'll actually have to report besides calling the hotline number the night before?

I ask because I have quite the busy week at work next week, and it would be very beneficial to know if I'm going to need to report or not. (Those nuggets at McDonald's aren't going to fry themselves!!)

My online research has failed me.

Any help appreciated.

Tell the attorneys in voir dire you’re a big fan of jury nullification.

I looked on Missouri Case Net and saw at least 2 trials scheduled for Monday. Not sure if that actually has any meaning or not.

Your job should have a policy for jury duty.

I’d be sure to tell everyone involved bosses auditors whatever about it. Like right now.

Do it. Dad spaced it one time and the sheriff showed up at the farm looking for him. My grandma was pissed. LOL.
