An aside, I almost apologize, this is how I have avoided jury duty for over 20 years. (I'm sorry, I can't live on $15/day during a protracted trial)

"Your honor, I know how the justice system works. If the DA pursues a case, that means he has evidence and testimony that will totally convince a jury that the defendant is guilty. The trial is a formality and, pushing the edges of contempt, I'm sorry, I will probably sleep through much of it and vote 'guilty' at the end of it."

They shooed me out the back door every trial session for 10 years, I have not been called up for 5 years. The "random" computer program for prospective jurors somehow magically ignores me.

Thank God for Oklahoma. We have not... quite... joined the Union.

You would like it here, Roscoe. I can take a deep breath anytime I want. I can pee off my back porch. The local cops hassle my little blue car, but only when I am driving it.

I was dismissed from jury duty several times in the late '80's, and have not been called for jury duty since.
