Missed Jury Summons
 
I have rescheduled my jury summons twice which is the maximum in a 6 month period. I forgot about the summons until I got up this morning.

My husband said get dressed they may come and get you at the door.

I have emailed them as that is my last resource since the phone is recorded message and I can't contact a living body.

Anyone else have any suggestions.

P.S. They lock the doors 15 minutes after your due time.

I'm sure you could have your doctor help get you out of this - - he can tell them you've been on heavy medication.....lol!

Jury Duty is the only right that you can be arrested for not taking advantage of.

But... I do think that Jury Duty is very important though. Especially when one understands the concept of Jury Nullification. But don't mention that phrase while you are still in the jury pool or you will be eliminated.

Here is some excellent reading on the subject.

My husband got it rescheduled for next Monday.

He said get dressed! You don't want them to come in here and haul you off in your gown do you? :) Bless his heart he does worry about some things.
