My dad got out of it legit once, but you can try his method for the purposes of selfish evil.

Call \'em up like a half hour after you\'re supposed to be there and tell them you\'re really sorry you couldn\'t find the place. You got lost.
He also got out my going up to the judge as the judge was about to say ok to the jury, and he told the judge "listen, we know he did it, so I\'m going to move for the punishment. If you want someone to be impartial, I\'m not your man."
They sent him home after that, heh.
