You don't want the floor sitting directly on the soil, and it's cheaper to pour the foundation around the edges of the house than to pour a solid concrete slab.
It also allows you to access things like ductwork and whatnot.

I mean, in my case it's truthful. I've seen a lot of my state's problems in the public defense system (it's awful here), and for nonviolent crimes I'm pretty much 100% a not guilty protest vote from the outset.
But yeah, judges will respond differently. Some may keep you if they think you're trying to get out of it, but as long as you're respectful and not mocking about it, you've got a good chance and you won't be punished.
Now, I see one guy falsely claimed to have killed someone and would go into heroin withdrawals during the trial, and he got hit with contempt. Don't be an asshat 🤣

Regular trial jury duty is super easy to get out of. Just answer the questions wrong and they'll strike you most of the time. You don't want to outright lie about facts, but when they ask something like "can you fairly apply the law as instructed, and set aside your own notions of the law" or something to that affect, just say no, you don't think you can. Tell them you don't trust big government. You're probably getting booted.

Slab on grade is fine. It's just more expensive than the typical foundation with a crawlspace
