Sadly, registering to vote isn’t the only way to get on jury duty lists - now they take names from driver’s licenses and home ownership…
As a judge for nearly 20 years, I have had several situations where a defendant’s constitutional right to a trial by a jury of his peers has been frustrated because not enough people showed up for jury selection. That’s not okay. This judge was being a tyrant, but trying to get out of jury duty is thoughtless and selfish.
