MISSED my Jury duty.

[bjc112]

I cannot believe i forgot. I was summoned on like August 31st for Nov.1 and COMPLETELY forgot..

I think with all the hype going on around the election, and just plain BUSY at work. I completely forgot..

Arizona state law says if you don't appear you can receive up to a $500 fine.

That Sucks.

But I should have been prepared.

I'm sure a letter is in the mail now.


DAMN IT.



EDIT: Call and TRY to reschedule OR hold out and see.

I've missed jury duty 3 times for various reasons in the past 4 years. I never called to tell them i couldn't make it, and they never called/mailed/fined me or gave any indication they cared. This is in mass BTW.

 

[Chompman]

Just tell them you never got the notice to show up.

3 times ?

If i slip away this time... ( Which i don't think i will ) it would be a damn blessing.

They can still call you up for jury duty if you pay taxes

Well since they probably got my form back to "sign up".. I don't think that will work..

How long after?

 

[Kev]

seriously though, there is absolutley no need to worry

 

[bjc112]

I'm not worried about being in trouble, I'm worried about the $500 fine.

I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I can reschedule.

I just talked to a couple people and they say normally, you call the night before and give your #, it then lets you know if you are needed or not..

( in AZ )

exact same thing in CA. i have also been pulled over by the police since missing jury duty, and i presume they ran my license to see if there were warrents out for me or anything, and nope, no trouble. they just use that crap as a scare tactic to get you to come.

You are a horrible American. You should be deported!
