I got as far as voir dire in a child sexual abuse case. The fact that I had gone out armed after another pervert a couple years earlier didn't sit well with defense council.

I meant WRONG in the sense of "bad". Those in need of child care period can ask to be excluded by MAIL, I believe. Don't have one in front of me. But the form should be mailed, calling a Judge or excess explanation in a Courtroom. Pulling in those 150 cost the county some money.That is wrong Syrenn; a Florida Summons explains exclusions, your post contains one. "Children under age _____".
They don't care if you can find child care.. They don't care if you can't pay for child care. They don't care if you can't pay your mortgage or bills or miss work.... They dont care if you don't have transportation to get there. If you vote they can call you.
Sorry, i didn't say anything about someone being under age. We had a woman come with her child becasue she was unable to find child care... the judge threatened her with contempt. Told her to report the next day...without the kid.
Its not wrong.... not in SF its not. You can claim as much financial hardship as you want..and it makes no difference.
What will get you out is if you claim you don't speak English or if you have a provable medical issue.
You are being called too often. IF you served once, who ever draws up the rolls might stop the excessive calling.Ok, then it is burden on you. Usually people are called may be once every ten years. For me, 15 years between being called.You are very welcome. They call me every year.
Its not a financial burden on me.... its an annoyance. I know people who have never been called....and i get called like clockwork..They can call you ever year if you don't serve...and every two years if you do serve.
They call me every year.

EXCUSED...for cause. I also meant burden just by being called so often. I have always been based in small towns since admission. With SF having the multitude of cases you describe, perhaps some will be culled from the pack.You are being called too often.

They are more then welcome to seat me..... and take their chances. I am very up front about that. I will not tell them during questioning one way or the other...which way i lean.
I will not stand for attorney grandstanding or theatrics... i am up front about that too.... but they are more then welcome to seat me....and take their chances.

I've never been called.
I might not mind it, assuming someone could be found to watch the little one while I was gone....but since I don't drive, the transportation might be a bitch. Of course, not having a license might be one of the reasons I've never been selected!

It's an honor and a privilege to serve on a jury.
Have you ever been called for jury duty??
Ever been on a jury panel??
I have never once been called for jury duty......but here, they usually pick people from those who are voters, and I'm not a registered voter, so I guess that's why I've missed the jury crap!
My youngest son, he is 27, he got a summons to appear for jury duty. He doesn't want to do it tho....and he said he's pretty sure his boss can get him out of it.
I think I might like to serve on a jury some day.......but I probably wouldn't do a very good job. If I didn't like the way a guy looked, I'd be thinking.."oh what a creep...yep, he's guilty" ~LoL~

Yeah, and I'm biased against the law in general - no go...
Besides, I would never help the system.... Fuck that...
Same thing in criminal court, the closer to trial, the more eager both parties get to settle. But, NOT all the time.I was called to Jury Duty for one month. There were only two cases that month, and by the time we got to both of them, they had already settled out of court. Both times, we had to wait two hours to find that out. lol
