I got out of jury duty when I got a blood clot in the leg. After getting out of the hospital and doing a follow up with the doc, I was opening my mail in his office while waiting. At the same time I opened the summons for jury duty, I said "oh shit...". The doc looked at me and asked what was wrong? I said oh nothing, but I just received this jury duty summons. He takes a look at it, and says, don't worry...you'll never have to go again. He wrote me a medical excuse to be permanently excused.
I'm glad because I hated going. I always thought about another option for Jury duty. Since we have so many lawyers, why not have them sit on the jury. They know the law and are somewhat intelligent. It beats having idiots on there with an IQ of a rock.
