I've had Jury Duty since July. I was suppose to show up Friday for a trial. I read my schedule wrong.
I hope the judge understands.

It may be extreme but it is a threat they make on the letter they send you for jury duty here.Originally Posted by DixieDarlin256

I am from Ky and they usually just give you a fine. If you've showed up for the others then that's probably all they'll do. My sister was a clerk in a court in Frankfort for 15 years and said they usually only fine youOriginally Posted by SalemWitchChild
During our orientation they said missed Jurors may get a contempt of court. But that it was the discretion of the Judge whether to issue it or not. If it was the male judge. I don't think I'll hear a word about it. If it was the woman judge...I'm in big dodo.
Arizona. I don't know what they actually do, I've never had the nerve to test them and fortunately I haven't forgotten when I've had a trial.Originally Posted by DixieDarlin256

Jurors aren't only chosen from voter registrations. Some are chosen from lists provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Labor, Department of Revenue Services etc. They'll getcha one way or another.Originally Posted by SwampWitch
I wish they wouldn't pick from the registered voters in the U.S. I think it discourages voting since people don't want to be asked for jury duty.
