how do I get out of it. I got a letter in the mail and well I'm out of state and really don't want to return to NC just to go to some trial. WTF, B? what's a good excuse to get out of this or is living out of state legit enough.

Do your civic duty.

If it's a black defendant...tell them you're racist.

3/21/2006 8:37:00 PM

If you are a student out of state and class is in session you can get it deferred.

3/21/2006 8:46:24 PM

tell them you're a nazi

3/21/2006 8:50:47 PM

yeah. I remember the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode when the Larry's like, "that man is a Negro". hilarioius, G.

3/21/2006 8:55:24 PM

throw that shit away, B

it's the american way

3/21/2006 9:45:50 PM

Well, if you want to lie about it (which inevitably you would need to do anyways), you might be able to get out of it by pulling the old "I am currently dating the girl/guy that dumped the prosecuter" gig

That's where they got your name - I'm guessing that weaseling out of your civic duty has something to do with proving their information is false.

all you gotta do is fax them a paycheck or lease or something showing you dont live in the county
at least thats all i had to do for durham

I always thought jury duty would be a fun experience to have atleast once... i've would have had it multiple times already, but i've been in my 4 years of undergrad every time they've asked so I was able to get out of it.

crazy, ive been driving for 11 years, and voting for 9. they must not call people that have been charged w/ crimes.

3/22/2006 10:19:15 AM

i admit, i'm a pauly shore fan

I just did jury duty about two months ago. I ended up being one of the unlucky ones.

When I got there (8:00am) there were about 100 or so people. A few hours later they called out about 30 people's names. They were the ones that were selected to actually do something. The rest of us thought we would then be excused, but no. At 4:00pm they called out about 30 more names, mine included. These people stayed until 5:00pm. At 5:00pm they just dismissed everyone.

I pretty much sat in a room for 9 hours doing nothing... all day. I wish they would have given a heads up on the waiting nature of jury "service". I would have brought work to do. At least I'm in the clear for the next two years.

The sumons that I just recently got had a list on the back of valid reasons to be excused from jury duty... you could always call the county it's for, and ask someone about what your options are...

someone needs to be held accountable.

i got my jury duty deferred once

it was for court in wilmington and i just said im a student in raleigh and they sent the thing back accepting my defer request

3/22/2006 12:55:11 PM

Call the clerk of court and explain your situation and let them know that it would be an undue hardship to appear.

3/22/2006 1:03:21 PM

Why don't you switch your residency to where you are actually living?

3/22/2006 1:36:06 PM

do what my uncle did - show up and just act like you are dumb, and they will dismiss you.

4/6/2006 5:58:12 PM

Still haven't made an effort? You'll be upset at yourself for wasting more gas money than they pay you if you don't take care of it real soon-like.

I read most of a Greek mythology book when I did mine in Charlotte 3 years ago . Probably would have done work if I had a laptop.
