My husband was on a jury back in the '80s. I just got a questionnaire from the county, so maybe I'll be called soon!

Same here! My case was a drunken driver with video of the guy couldn’t walk a straight line. Failed Breathalyzer. He was charged with something else too but we let him skate on that one.

Yes and thank God his friends turned him in before he could follow thru Found him guilty and he won't be able to to any community college or university. Any classes he attends will be online ONLY He's still trying to fight this I pray they keep denying him.

I served as a juror a few times. It was an honor & a privilege. However, I was once thrown out of court during jury selection by a screaming female judge who was incensed when I responded to her poorly worded question that she could not order me how to think if I did not agree with her.

I was served, but during the jury selection process, the perp's attorney asked me if I'd ever been the victim of a hit and run accident. I said yes and that if I'd had a gun, I would have shot the jerk who hit me. He thanked me and released me. He knew I'd never side with his client.

I guess I'm not needed in a court place. I did fill out the forms about 6 mths ago. Don't have a criminal record. So no idea why I haven't be asked.

I have been summoned several times; but I was always rejected because I am an engineer (too logical).

Used to when we had one close. Now distance makes it difficult except on happy occasions. Couple times a year we are musical performers at one or two.
