Where I live I get one every year. They come in like clockwork. Everyone in our county gets one because our DA does not like to let criminals plea bargain.
I always get booted from the pool, but I always show up.
The only jury I was ever empaneled on didn’t go to trial because the defendant was smart enough to know that with that jury he was not going to get any mercy. We were all itching to hang him and he knew it.
I’ve received notices a half a dozen times, and sent in regrets on half of those because of absences from area. Twice I wasn’t even called. Once I sat around with a huge group, answered a few general questions with that group, but they never got to my number by the time they had all that they needed. They wanted to pay me, but I said there was no way I was taking money for sitting in a chair answering half a dozen yes or no questions. They raised their eyebrows but no one threatened me with weapons, so I smiled and departed.
