The easiest one for non-citizens is to feign that they can't speak English. The exchange typically goes like this:<br><br>Judge: 'Prospective juror #1, have you ever been on a jury?'<br>#1: 'Eshooze me, I no speak very good English.'<br>Judge: 'How long have you lived in LA county?'<br>#1: 'Uh...25 years.'<br>Judge: '25 years and you don't speak English very well?'<br>#1: 'Uh...no.'<br>Judge: 'Prospective juror #2, have you every been on a jury?'<br>#2: 'I don't understand anything.'<br>Judge: 'How long have you lived in LA county?'<br>#2: 'I don't understand anything. Nothing.'<br> </div></body>
