I was summoned for jury duty last year. Lucky for me, it was set for the same week I had my final exams at college. I wrote them a letter explaining why I needed to be excused, and they let me off. Now I live my life in paranoia waiting...

I was on for two and a half weeks on a federal case. it wasnt bad at all.

Once there would have been a time when that would have interested me, when I had an interest in study in law etc

Months ago I have been called for jury duty. I have enjoyed it. The case was murder, rape, false imprisonment
