this happened to a relative of mine. they were summoned to a mafia trial and were called into the judges room one by one. both lawyers were also in the room
judge: this trial will be long, any reason you can’t serve?
relative: i have a new job and my boss will not take to kindly to me being gone
judge: NOT ACCEPTABLE, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO YOU FOR BEING ON A JURY
relative: i am a season ticket holder. the trial will cause me to miss a bunch of games
judge: you are excused
