I mean, have you recieved a summons (letter) either from your municpality or another in which you’re selected to be a juror. You show up to the courts and assigned a number along with being asked about occupation, status, etc. but is the probability even that high on becoming part of the 12 jurors? Is it a criminal offense for failing to appear?

    I’m glad I served. On the trial I was on three young men could have easily seen their lives destroyed because of shitty cops and a shitty prosecutor.

    I will never forget having to explain reasonable doubt repeatedly to more than one other juror in deliberations.

    Please, don’t skip jury duty.
