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

Yeah because you would be the only person to have ever been so inconvenienced. :rolleyes:

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.
IMO, having juries is very unethical.  A society saying that justice isn't important enough to be trusted to professionals isn't worth saving.  And because my opinions carry the force of truth, that is the Order of Things.

Inconvenienced?  More like throwing me into living hell.  I've seen people who go to the courts from 9-5, then get back to the office from 5-1.  Day after day.

Why hasn't the PRC taken your juries away yet?

What's your point? If I'd been selected for jury duty, I would have been expected to still get my work done.

The point is I won't go down without a fight - I'll do everything within legal limits so that I don't have to be a juror :contract:

Lying during jury selection isn't legal.  :contract:

I am interested to know how you can prove the statement "I will listen to the prosecutor only" to be lying :contract:

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

How do you feel about Sting's solo career?
