If you seriously do not want to be on the jury, once you are called into the room, you will undoubtedly be told a little about the trial and asked questions about your feelings on various things, such as, "is there anyone here who could not set aside their personal convictions and ---sentence this man to just probation/death/award the plaintiff 18 million----. Answer the questions, and focus on your strong feelings about some matter. They will try to get you to agree that you could follow the instructions the judge gives you about setting aside your personal feelings, but if you do not agree, you will be struck "for cause" and hopefully get to leave early.
