But, the „Real Time with Bill Maher“ host notes, he believes it’s „our civic responsibility“ to try getting out of jury duty.
On “Real Time with Bill Maher” this week, the host riffed on how much easier it was to get out of jury duty for Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York than it normally would be to get off any other jury.
Maher didn’t seem eager to be a juror himself, noting that this week served a reminder of “our civic responsibilities to try to get out of jury duty.” He noted that normal excuses include things like being a caretaker, but that it was much easier to get off the Trump case.
Pointing to a story from Axios, he noted that half the possible jurors were gone once the judge asked the jury pool to raise their hands if they couldn’t be impartial.
