Today I got an interesting letter in the mail! I have been called for Jury duty and at a very inconvenient time for me. I am to report for duty on April 9th and my plane ticket says I will fly to Arizona on April 10. I have served on jury duty 3 times but 15 years ago and I served twice one year and once the next year. I don't mind serving but does it have to be now! Wannabe
Usually you can get it deferred to a later date since you already have the plane tickets, at least you can in Texas, don't know about other states.
Hope it goes your way. A few years back they seemed to call me for duty frequently, happily they've left me alone lately ( hope I didn't just jinx myself)
I've been called twice but both times the person pleased guilty before it reached trial so I didn't have to attend.
I don't see why they wouldn't change it. I had to get it canceled the one time I was called bc of medical reasons and I had no problem at all.
Thanks for all your support. We are going down to the court house Monday. I am hoping they will let it go until the next time they need jurors and I will be happy to serve then. Wannabe
I took a written excuse from my Doctor to the circuit clerk's office on Monday. Today in the mail I received a letter excusing me from jury duty. I was releived to get it so I could visit the family in April. I would serve in August though if they call me. Wannabe
So glad you didn't have to serve Wanna. :-D Now you can look forward to the trip to visit your family in April.
