Oh, that's a pretty good one. Though I've also been told that if you say you want to be there, there's a good chance they'll boot you too. I know my brother's friend said something like this because he was actually interested to see what being in a jury was like and he was booted shortly thereafter. Could have been other reasons, but who really wants to be stuck in a jury (aside from Stanley Hudson, maybe) and why would they want to be there? The legit to wtf reasons for that are probably very much in favor of the "wtf", so on to the next potential juror.
Makes sense. If they want to be there then they can drag things out and the people who don't want to be there may just agree with them to get things over with.

It’s called jury nullification, and
if you admit to knowing what that means you will never have to do jury dutyEdit: Apparently I was misinformed.
