Your state or city is lenient. In California, you can only get out if you're a student with proof, family member emergency, too emotional for the case (women), don't understand English (non-Americans with an accent), or you're biased.
I had a classmate faked he didn't understand English, they found out by a google search and found his linkedin profile. They arrested him after he walked out of the court room. They didn't select me because I was biased for the case so no jail time and no fine.
Same with Texas. Student, young children with no supervision, too old, etc.
