I'll give you a hint that will make things go much easier - only listen to what the prosecuting attorney has to say.   :)
This is a civil case.  Which makes Cal sad, since I do not get to bring down the HAMMER OF JUSTICE on anyone. :(

You don't have to say anything - just listen.  :contract:

There is no such thing as fibromyalgia.
Chiropractors can't diagnose anything.
"Chronic pain syndrome" is a myth.
Never give an award just because one side has "deep pockets".
When a judge gives you instructions - LISTEN.

Of course if you could at least tell us what kind of case it is I could give you more specific instructions...

60% of what you have said is, as Seven of Nine would say, irrelevant. :)

Beeb also thinks that if you're brought before a judge you're guilty of a crime, so take any statements with a grain of salt.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Apparently if you think that way during jury selection, the defense lawyer will dismiss you.

Excellent.  So all I need to do is to make similar statements to get out of it  :showoff:

IMO, making deliberately stupid statement to get out of a jury is very unethical.  There are fellow citizens out there whose fate lies in the hands of the jury, and all potential jurors should take their obligations seriously.

Thankfully (or not...?), I do legitimately dislike police.

Oh yeah, and making me work 2 full time jobs, i.e. jury duty and my original job, is very ethical  :yucky:
