Simply tell them that you do not trust the justice system, that you know that they (the lawyers) can make any lie seem like the truth and will lie and manufacture evidence to convict someone, so you can never in good conscience find anyone guilty of a crime no matter what they (again the lawyers) say or what evidence they seem to have.
Doesn't work here. I wrote that on the original paper. As if out of spite, they called me this time. The other three times I was excused for being pregnant.
And I'll tell the lawyers point blank that my vote is innocent, on any jury, for any crime. I suck at following anything I'm not interested in, and this is a high on the list. Further, I fear retribution, and will also vote not guilty for this reason. So even if I weren't a stay at home mom of two autistic children, I'd still be useless on a jury. Though I'm pretty sure the defense would love me...
PS: I've really enjoyed some of your responses
