Like others have said, serving is supposed to be our "civic duty". That said if our "civic leaders" can pay out our hard earned money to the "worthless individuals" your talking about, why can"t they at least pay a fair wage to those taking their time to listen to a bunch of over paid lawyers doing their best to twist the truth until it"s unrecognizable? Being self employeed I"d have no problem serving for a day or two, if for nothing else than a change of pace, IF they would pay me FAIR portion of what I make in a day....or even minimum wage. As it is you get something like $20 a day around here, for as many days as it takes to finish the case.
I got called for the first time a few years back. Thankfully you can only be called once every 8 years, whether you actually get picked to set on the jury or not.
Now if you want to get off, I can guarantee you the excuses of self employement, etc will rarely work, as you have discovered already. What does work is basically what has already been mentioned before. When asked questions, answer honestly...that is if honestly means you feel that most criminals are guilty, and on the civil side you have a strong opinion of the situation that favors one side way more than the other. In either case one of the lawyers will "excuse" you from service because they "know" you will rule against their client........I know it worked for me, and I was being honest to a fault about the questions they asked me.......
