Another Way To Get Out Of Jury Duty

A few months back, Karl reviewed how to prepare for jury duty. And we later learned one way to get out of jury duty is to be President of the United States. Well, Railton Loy of South Bend, Indiana recently showed us another way to get out of it: declare you're a member of the KKK. According to the South Bend Tribune:

After receiving the summons, Loy called the St. Joseph County courthouse and also sent The Tribune a letter requesting he be excused.

If ordered to appear, Loy said, he planned to wear his full KKK uniform to jury selection in the hopes of being "thrown out."

The Klansman was granted his wish this week when he was excused by St. Joseph Judge Roland Chamblee Jr.'s court.

Loy later told the SBT, "I should not be on any jury, you know that. I'm the imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. I should be removed." Well, at least he's self-aware.
