You get a few days in jail. Don't piss off the judge.

The judge will probably get really upset and put you in the civil jury pool, civil trials last much longer

The judge may not like your attitude. Do you have time to spend a night or 2 in jail?

I gave 4 examples by name and crime committed. I said the charge and followed by the punishment which was - truth be told - they all got off.

Judge asked if I believe in the judicial system of this county. I said emphatically NO. Obviously. I was dismissed. F jury duty. Bunch of corruption I want no parts of.
