They can't force people to travel back for jury duty can they? hmmm.Van Dwellerhttp://www.tinsilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-619094213186916912012-08-31T21:46:23.290-07:002012-08-31T21:46:23.290-07:00Ugh, sorry about that.

I really worried about it as I was being selected for a BIG case in Galveston concerning the Moody family! I was really dreading it, but after a few misses here & there on their part, it was cancelled. Whew!

I had to report in April though and thought I had made it to a jury. I was the first potential juror called to be interviewed and made it for 7 long hours, while they asked each new potential the same questions. At 3:45 I was excused. I was disappointed because i would have enjoyed sitting on that jury. As for a full-timer being called, I don't know if they would expect you to return for duty.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724700224950067703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-25316729020019934062012-08-28T12:55:05.141-07:002012-08-28T12:55:05.141-07:00It may be that a state composed mainly of people w...It may be that a state composed mainly of people wandering around the rest of the country, has less need for juries than other states?craighttp://animalhead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-80353917386305947552012-08-28T06:30:30.938-07:002012-08-28T06:30:30.938-07:00In six years, I've never gotten the 'call&...In six years, I've never gotten the 'call' from South Dakota.Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-37073136828740853862012-08-28T04:53:20.964-07:002012-08-28T04:53:20.964-07:00We've heard you just contact them and explain ...We've heard you just contact them and explain your situation and they drop you as a juror.
