Crime Issue Countdown, T minus 4 days: Famous Jury Duty Excuses

By Eric Purington '09
  • Michael Jackson: "The role of the jury is to judge its peers. There is no one in this solar system who is remotely similar to me. Except Bubbles, and he's innocent."
  • John Kerry: "One is disqualified by toolbaggery, isn't one?"
  • Harold Bloom: "Because the rape of Jane Doe fails to live up to Shakespeare's Rape of Lucrece."
  • Jerry Seinfeld: "It's too hard to squeeze situational humor out of a murder-suicide."
  • Richard Levin: "I am a Chinese citizen."
  • Det. John Shaft: "It's my duty to protect that booty. And last I checked, over 80 percent of lawyers, judges, bailiffs, and the indicted are male."
  • Chuck Norris: "Because a roundhouse to the nuts is considered 'cruel and unusual.'"
  • Bill Clinton: "I did not have sex with that stenographer. Yet."
  • William Hung: "A Hung jury is a bad thing, right?"
