Justice will be served...but does it have to be by me?

I have been a registered voter since the 2000 election, and always wondered when I would get summoned for jury duty. For eight years, it never happened.

Now that I have Ellen and child care issues to contend with, it has happened. Of course.

I am annoyed to the point of hating any and all (alleged) criminals. The simple fact that they (allegedly) did something that requires the presence of jurors at a trial, makes them all GUILTY of causing major angst in my life.

Can I use that line to get out of it?

Yeah, I'm thinking that'll get you out of it for sure. Just tell the defense attorney, "I know they're guilty. Just LOOK at them!"

You can defer no questions asked one time. Defer man, defer.

But I have to admit, I found my jury duty experience pretty interesting (well, except for the actual testimony, which was mind-numbingly boring but relatively short).
