It’s not as easy as you think. We attorneys and the judges know the typical answers people use to get out of jury duty. Attorneys can only dismiss so many potential jurors out of hand and won’t waste these challenges on someone with made up smart answers.
Many of us employ jury consultants and know more about potential jurors than you can imagine.
Many a potential juror attempting to lie has been confronted with the jury questionnaire that may have been filled out months earlier. Getting caught lying during the proceeding and subject you to criminal penalties.
If youy wish to live in the USA then you have obligations as a citizen and that includes jury duty.
