Weld District Attorney Ken Buck said it is "a disgrace" that people don't show up for jury duty.

Mr Weld might look at his own house, the justice system in this country has developed a rather large stench.

[Ramius]

But a great part of that stench results from too many people ducking out of jury duty. Juries of good, smart people are at the very core of making a justice system that works. I’d bet most of the people who bellyache about the quality of the justice system are the self-same ones that dodge jury duty every time they’re called.

I wish more people would do their part with a little more enthusiasm. I’ve been on two juries in the last few years, and it’s been a fascinating experience.

[Ditto]

Frankly, I agree with Mr. Weld. Serving when called is a duty, and I hope those people who ignored the summons are punished to the full extent of the law.
