Someone got out of jury duty in Aaron Hernandez trial by yelling 'Go Pats'

Jury selection is underway for the murder trial of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

Now, jury duty is one long, obligatory battle of mental attrition that no one really wants any part of.

One New England man, who obviously had better ways to spend his day, found a foolproof way to skate on his civic duty. He showed up to court, decked out in a Boston Bruins jersey, and shouted “Go Pats.” He was promptly dismissed.
