Florida’s jury pool selection law is moronic. The mathematics of it would make a bookie insane. I’ll not write an explanation here, but when I tried to explain to the clerk’s office in Polk county how flawed the methodology was, the shuffling, drooling zombies couldn’t comprehend what I was talking about.

When I lived there I got called 8 times in 15 years, served on several. In the same time, no one on my street, including my wife, got called.

The ultimate stupidity of Polk County:

Some years ago, TWO YEARS after we moved to Kentucky, my wife received a jury summons from Polk County (addressed to our KY address!! NOT forwarded) We had sold our FL home, retitled our cars (including notifying the state of FL of taking residence in KY) & turned in our FL driver licenses. We had absolutely NO legal ties to FL, of any sort for over two years.

Still makes me mad when I think about it.

I have heard somewhat similar stories. I also recall reading about a cat receiving jury duty. So many jokes about that possibility.
