Tac Town seems pretty TUFF about it. They threaten a misdemeanor on the paper (not that I give a shit because I stack those like cord wood).DerekJohnson said:
In Seattle they'd probably honor you with a plaqueApostleofGrief said:Supposedly they can try and convict you for dodging jury duty, but it never happens in Seattle. If you live in some rural county it might happen.
This is my first summons, so thanks for the tips guys. I think ignoring it is out because I already requested an excusal on the website. So, I call them Monday or it's time to gussy up my combat boots for the duck walk. -

Ive been on two jury’s. Forman for both. Both were some kind of assault on a cop. Not guilty both times. The cops stated it. If you want to start shit and then put a guy in jail for responding, don’t have me on the jury.
Both times it was kind of funny. Middle aged white ladies/men just wanted to convict and be done with it and leave. I said not so fast my friends. Found an ally in a couple of young chicks who were not fans of cops. 6 hours later we broke the old whites down and came back with a not guilty.
I felt like a #hero. -

I've been selected 3 times. Never call. Never show.PurpleJ said:Got jury duty starting 12/31. Request to be excused was denied. I guess my only option now is to shave my beard into a Hitler stache and duck walk into the courtroom so I fail jury selection. FML.
This country doesn't follow its laws anymore
I ignored it for a while.....got nervous about going to the Pokey myself so finally called in.
"Oh....we just assumed you moved. We'll put you back on the list."

The problem with the justice system is that people smart enough to serve are also smart enough to get out of serving.
