Default I got out of jury duty on capital murder trail

Mine was a capital murder trial. On reporting everyone in the room had to fill out questionaire which took over 2 hour. Alot questions were do you believe in this or that, do you believe in the death penalty. Then the people that got picked would have to go to a hotel for the whole trial. The second I got out of the questionaire I went to parish where my wife family lives legally moving to that parish and changed my driver's license, vehicle registration, boat registration, and voters registration went to clerk of court of my new parish that day to have it certified. Then went back on Monday said I can't be on the trial due to I do not live in this parish anymore. They dropped me from the jury pool. You have to live in the parish for atleast 1 year before jury service which I wasn't serving yet just in the jury pool.

Lucky I did it due to the trail took 3 weeks and then they let the jury go home. Then sent them back to decide sentence.
