1.) Believe me, it is better for our society when intelligent guys like you DO end up as jurors, because you are far more likely to pay attention to the facts of the case instead of succumbing to an emotional appeal.

2.) If you really don’t want to be a juror, openly admit to some horrible form of prejudice. This doesn’t have to be racial or religious in bounds – declare yourself an extreme libertarian who does not respect the authority of the court, or perhaps just as a strict classical interpretationist of the Constitution… your imagination is the only limit.
