The WHO has defined that disabilities can be defined into 3 types, physical, mental and social economy. Someone without a hand or leg may be called disable. A mental person can also be called disabled, so can someone without enough money to purchase food, and their daily needs.

Are people with physical or mental disabilities excused from jury duty?

With mental disabilities, yes. With physical disabilities, it depends.

Obviously if the disability was such that they could not hear or see the evidence, they'd be excused.
