Answer 4

Depends on how the cops catch you...  Since it's a FELONY to skip jury duty, you can be in jail for a LONG LONG time, have all your rights stripped away from you, have to report to every place that you go to work for in the future that you are a felon, be denied the ability to vote or own a firearm, lose your drivers license, and be fined.

Luckily, if you dont seriously p**s off the judge, you MAY get away with a $100 fine only, but if the judge is mad at you, prepare to have the book tossed at you and spend 3 to 5 years in prison.
