In 22 years of being qualified, I am facing my first jury duty summons as a regular employee and see no way out except to report. The old self-employment, financial burden exemption no longer applies.
Is there a good web site where I can find other legal means to recuse myself (I live in AZ), or if I do decide to report and get on a trial, a web site on my rights to vote my conscious, aka jury nullification?
Tell them the following: "I am aware of the doctrine of jury nullification and I will inform my fellow jurors of it. I will invoke it in cases where the defendant has been charged with a victimless crime, i.e. drug-related offenses, statutory rape, or other thoughtcrime, or when the law is otherwise unjust or unreasonable." The prosecutor won't touch you with a 10 foot pole.
