    If you read the article, though, she says she called in and said she couldn’t do jury duty because she was taking care of young children (which is a valid excuse in many states). The person on the other end of the phone probably checked the wrong box on a form.

    Why would you take her word for it and assume the clerk made a mistake?

      For the same reason non batshit-crazy people realize that illegals are not voting in droves: lying to the court is a serious crime, just like lying to register to vote is a crime. Why would she lie when she had a perfectly valid excuse?

        Because she thinks her skin color will protect her.

        Hahahahaha, good one.

        Someone whose logic results in voting for Trump is clearly going to make logical decisions in court. Yeah, that is more plausible than the person assuming there would be no way to verify their story.
