Just go in and start spouting conspiracy theories and they'll let you go day one. "The defendant has been listening to my thoughts through the fillings in my teeth and relaying my secrets to the mole people!" Boom, you're out.

OP is trying to avoid going in at all. This will not help.

If I’m required to go, I will just have to bring the baby. It will be a pain in the ass, but I’m going to do what I have to do to avoid a fine.

Bingo. I bet the ejuror seat warmer simply didn't believe your story. Bring the baby. I bet you'll be excused in an instant.

You should not have to pay (childcare) to be on a jury.

And if the judge does in fact order you to find childcare and proceed, hit the judge/DA where it hurts. I'm sure your local news station would have a field day with your story.

I just had Federal jury duty last year. On the bright side, you get $50/day and they reimburse your parking too, so save your receipt.

I mean, my suggestion was a joke, I'm sorry if that was hard to deduce between the radio teeth and the mole people...

Hence why people use the '/s' to specify sarcasm. You cannot state conspiracy theories and then expect people to believe whatever you said afterward is a joke. Those jokes are usually the conspiracy theory in itself.
