Please tell me someone knows the rest of this story.

I hope he got off. But it would not surprise me to find out he got nailed for contempt or something like that.

Yeah, it's what I did and I kinda had an inkling this would have come from TSG.

"The document, of course, did not sit well with court officials and led a judge to threaten to jail Slye. But after being summoned to court, Slye apologized for the affidavit and avoided being cited on a criminal failure to appear rap. And he also was excused from serving on a jury."

Jury duty is for people not important enough or smart enough to get off jury duty.

(Except for those who go for the sake of morbid curiosity)

I was a prosecuting attorney's assistant for four years and I sat in on exactly one trial - a rape case. You might think the salacious details would make it interesting. In fact, it was as boring as watching paint dry.

I was the transcriptionist for several administrative hearings. I served as the "judge" for one hearing, the "prosecutor" for another, and as a "jury" member for several other hearings. They were all equally boring...

except for the aircraft crash investigations. Now those were interesting!

Wear a FIJA.org shirt to voir dire.

They will excuse you pretty damned fast.

Easy to get out of jury duty. When they call you for questioning, ask "If I swear to vote guilty, can I pull the lever when they fry him?" and sound excited.
Or start flirting with the transcriptionist, even if she is 75. When the judge says something, mutter, sorry about cutting your action there judge.
Anymore, they send me home the minute I arrive.
