One way to get out of jury duty

During the jury selection phase for the sentencing trial of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, one prospective juror asked the judge to excuse her from jury duty, which is estimated to take one month.

Her reason? She is married, she has children whose birthdays are coming up, and she has a "sugar daddy" who she needs to meet with every day!

Judge Elizabeth Scherer did not initially understand what Miss Bristol was referring to, but ultimately she dismissed her from the jury.

A few years ago i was summoned for jury service. It was a criminal case (not murder) and they asked everyone's view on the death penalty.

I told them cops are liars and prosecutors are complicit. And that justice depends on the accused's quality of representation.

I was escorted out of the court house.

Edited for spelling.

@Crazywaterspring All truth. Too many cases of prosecutors withholding evidence looking to get a conviction.
@Crazywaterspring Guess they weren’t seeking the truth after all.
