When they send out those letters for you to appear for jury duty, they MEAN it.

I just got summoned to court for failing to appear for jury duty. But I never got a letter.
:rage:
Well, if that's not a good enough excuse, look after the cantina for me and send me cookies in jail.

My hubby just got a jury summons last week for district court. 4 months of remembering when to call and find out whether he needs to be there or not, and get the next call-in date if they don't need him. I will most likely be the one with the calling responsibility and I am scared to death I will forget and get him in trouble. :eek:

First call in date is November 30. Y'all help me 'member, ok?!?;)

I was called for jury duty once. When we walked in the room, two juries had been called for the day so you were either white or yellow jury. (or whatever colors they were). I was yellow. We sat a while after watching the official "thanks for your duty to America" video and then the white jury was escorted out. We yellow jurors continued to wait. and wait. and wait. Finally the door opened and the judge walked in. And I must say, he looked very young and handsome in his robes. He thanked us for our time and said we were dismissed as the party settled his case. He asked if there were any questions and me being me, I raised my hand and asked, "What kind of case were we going to possibly get picked for today?" He said, "A Live Perversion case." My first thought was, damn! that sounds interesting. My second thought was, there are dead perversion cases?

They should send out those notices by certified mail so they know when someone doesn't get theirs.

Sadly, I think there are.
