(1)if its gonna be a criminal trial, the defense attny will probably ask for a show of hands of potential jurors---"if you voted right now how many of you think my client is innocent?". DO NOT RAISE YOUR HAND. The idea here is you are suppossed to assume the person is innocent until PROVEN otherwise. Do this right & the defense will kick you out of the prospective pool

(2) Look for other angles particular to the case. If it involves a crime with a gun. Make sure you indicate you are in the NRA & that you own guns---"guns dont cause crime, people cause crime" one or both sides will kick you. If its a civil suit, comment on how ridiculous it is that the US is such a litigious society and we are so prone to sue at the drop of a hat, etc.

I'm like you. My ass gets called every 2-3 years just like fuck'n clockwork, but I have never actually been picked to serve on a jury & dont intend to be picked.

Also the day of the week you are called in can be important. For example, Wednesday or Thursday are the best because not many trials start in mid-week & the ratio of potential jurors to trials is usually larger in the middle & latter part of the week. In most states, they cant call you up again to be screened for at least 2-3 years after you've come in & sat for selection.

Hope this helps dude.

The night before I did not shower, I got up, put on dirty clothes, didn't brush my hair, nor did I comb my teeth....Just before I went into the courthouse, I ate a box of Oreo Cookies....They asked me to leave on the first round.....ain't been called back since....
