Radio caller charged after bragging of avoiding jury duty

DENVER – The lesson: if you’ve found a creative way to avoid jury duty, keep it to yourself.
The Denver District Attorney has charged a 54-year-old woman with two felonies for allegedly acting mentally unstable in order to avoid jury duty after she shared her story on talk radio.

Susan Cole faces charges of first degree perjury and attempting to influence a public servant.
According to the arrest affidavit, an investigator with the DA’s Office was listening to the “Dave Logan Show” on 850 KOA radio on Oct. 11, 2011 when the hosts were taking calls on the topic of avoiding jury duty.

“One of the show’s callers related an elaborate story of how she deliberately dressed in a disheveled and uncoordinated fashion with the intent of appearing mentally unstable,” the affidavit states. “The caller then indicated that her appearance had the desired effect as it drew stares from fellow jurors and she was ultimately excused by the judge in the courtroom.”

I avoid jury duty by telling the truth. No plaintiff's lawyer wants anyone like me, who's testified at 5 trials and had his deposition taken 31 times.
