You don’t have to worry, bright people are rarely selected for juries, probably most especially for grand juries!
I did have a surreal experience once testifying in a trial on behalf of a former employer who laid me off and against a former employee (who was guilty). Man I was so tempted to lie and get him off the hook for revenge. But I didn’t.

Okay, that idea is about twenty times better than mine. Damn.

lucie- i think you are right. i’ll just be 100% honest. i’ll tell them that i am already blogging the shit out of my experience and that there is a good chance i’ll make an experimental film about it. both of which are completely true. thanks for reminding me that honesty is always the best option.

If you act like a maniac to shirk jury duty, the terrorists will truly have won!
Actually, isn’t being a self-employed artist type grounds for getting out of it?
