Concerned that Newark born actor, Ice T would be too much of a distraction, a New Jersey judge dismissed the "Law & Order SVU" star from jury duty Tuesday. That was just fine with the rapper turned actor. As he sat in the jury pool for six hours, he told all 140,056 of his Twitter followers how he wore his "body Count" T-shirt, a doo-rag and gold grill with the hope that he might be excused from the dreaded civic duty. On Sept. 27 tweeted:

“Sitting on JURY DUTY in NJ. How many ways can I say THIS SUCKS.. Everyone says the judge can’t possibly choose you… But I’m here for now.”

“I wore my ‘Body Count’ T shirt.. We’ll see…”

“I also wore a doo rag and a gold grill.. We’ll see…”

Moments later, Ice T, whose real name is Tracy Marrow, tweeted he was dismissed from the first court, only to have his name placed in another pool. Twitter follower, AwesomeAdamUK left the "New Jack City" actor a tweet "apologizing" for having to follow Marrow around all day in court, but said it was nice to meet him:
