I have jury duty tomorrow

What’s the best way to make sure I DON’T get selected onto the jury?

Do a little reading on something known as 'jury nullification'. most juries are told that they are to judge only the facts of the case and that the judge will rule on the law. Juries are not completely bound by this fairly recent interpretation. The jury has the "power" (I picked that word for a reason) to act contrary to the law. The jury has the 'right' to exercise that power and the moral obligation to do so when the law requires an unjust result from a conviction. Look it up a bit and tell anything like that to a judge and the chance of you ever sitting on a jury is vanishingly small!
