When I lived in Florida I got called over and over and over again. Seven times. Served twice plus once as an alternate.
Florida’s system is so stupid that it defies common sense. The counties claim it is tallahassee’s fault and Tallahassee claims it is the counties’ prerogative.
Before I moved out of Florida I swore I was done with that.
If my memory is correct the last case I got called for was a lawsuit between an insurance company and a hospital. I flat told the lawyer questioning me that I had been cheated by hospitals and insurance companies and that no I could not be impartial because as far as I was concerned they were both guilty and they both ought to pay.
How does Florida rotate its jury pool? Well, imagine playing Five Card Stud and shuffling the deck after every hand.
Florida does not go through its pool of eligible voters in a County and then start over. You get called and then you are taken out of the pool for 1 year. And then thrown back in so there are large percentage of people that never get called and and then there are the lucky ones like me who just kept getting called over and over again. I called the county and pointed this out and they said oh Tallahassee makes us do it. I called Tallahassee and Tallahassee said it’s up to the counties. Good old bureaucracies, no one’s responsible for anything and they’re all idiots.
I’ll give you one more example of Florida’s lunacy. We moved to Kentucky. We sold our home, we transferred the titles to our vehicles to kentucky, we got Kentucky driver’s licenses which meant we had to turn in our Florida licenses.
A couple years later my wife gets a jury notice from Polk County demanding that she show up for jury duty. The letter was addressed to our Kentucky address. GIGO
I’m in Polk County, FL and get a jury summons like a Christmas card... every year. I’ve served on 4, foreman once, and called once to Tampa for federal court. If you ever want off of duty, read the Jurors Handbook and let them know you understand jurors not only judge the accused, but we judge the law. When they ask the jury pool if anyone has any problems following the judges instructions, raise your hand. The juror is the most powerful person in the United States and don’t answer to judges.
Seems to be the same way in Michigan. I’ve been called...something like 6 times in 18 years of being eligible. Others I know never get called. It seems to be either they pester you constantly, or never.
