I missed my jury duty!?

steven m

Have a good reason when you speak to them
If you go to them, they might assign to to a different date.

Not sure how it works -- but its better than waiting for them to contact you --- contacting them youself looks better

Call the jury office. Just tell them that you forgot. Be honest. Yes, there is a fine for missing jury duty...but if you call ASAP you probably will get by.

contact the court and explain your situation. They may simply reschedule your jury duty.

Don't let everyone freak you out. I missed jury duty too and I just called them and explained that I forgot and they rescheduled. It WAS NOT a big deal at all and I seriously doubt you will go to jail!!!!!!!!

Andre

You have to provide a very good reason why you missed. I'd expect a little leniency from the system.

Sounds like you are in a very bad situation just doesn't get much grimmer. Just try not to get caught between a rock and a hard place by tearing that tag off your mattress & pillow. Seriously, as long as it wasn't the O.J. trial, you will probably just get hard labor at State Penn. Pie & Cake Factory.

Contact the court. Most likely, you will simply be assigned again. My brother was notified that he had missed jury duty (he did not recall ever receiving the original notice). He just called them and they assigned him another time to serve. Wasn't a problem.

When you hear the doorbell, take a deep breath before you answer it.
Recently, in this area, a person simply did not show up for jury duty. She was arrested and imprisoned.
She served 7 days, and now has a record.

I'd turn myself in to the jury commissioner.You may be able to avoid jail time. BUT, if you miss it agin, you are doomed!

u screwd

Just call and tell them you had a Family problem at the last min and it was important can you make up the day. But do it soon They fine you I forgot how much but it a good amount of money so be quick about it!! Just make up some thing....
Or say you was out of town when the letter came and you just read it That what I do...
I remember a judge was talking about fining the people that didn't come the last time I went so they do fine you so hurry up and call the number on the paper...

Oh god, you're ******.
I hope it was worth it,
whatever you were
doing. . . . :)

-- Tasha.

=[
should have set your alarm clock and cancelled your plans.

BannedwordUser

its probably just a misdemeanor. Call the Court and sak them what they want you to do.

Greysun

you are probably in contempt of court.. Expect to pay a fine, or possible jail time.. usually only a couple days. Perhaps youll have a lienient judge and he will let you off...but i doubt it

Team Fortress H

Yup. Sorry to tell you this. But you're goin to jail bro.

puffmama

You are going to jail.

Pablo

you will get fined or arrested i think

Mr & Ms Panama

you go to jail and get a fine, unless you call or show up as soon as possible and explain your situation they can reschedule you and might leave the fine off, just don't run away

Queen Domicka

u goin ta jail homey

dianee

omg! just kidding. i purposely ignored my calling and i didnt go to jail. they just sent me another one like a year or two later. i seriously dont think they do anything to you. your number will come up again im sure. just wait it out.

If it were up to me, I would throw you in jail for a few weeks. The judicial system depends on juries. This is what make it fair and just. It is particularly important that people from all walks of life are mixed into a jury - in order to reflect accurately the population.
You have a duty to your fellow citizens. How would you feel if one day you were in court, and a few of the jurors could not be bothered to turn up, thereby delaying your trial, or causing an imbalance on the jurors who would be strongly averse to the accused crime?

you can not collect $200

Bonnie S

Turn yourself in and plead your case. I hope you have a good reason to back it up. At least in doing this it will be better than being picked up.

Nate R

Uh oh, that's REALLY bad, you might actually go to jail for that.

=] LOVE MY LIFE

try to contact your lawyer....and if u have really god reasons like a death in the family or something it might be accepted otherwise prepare yourself for a good 6 or 8 months in jail and a fine up to 10,000

Mike S

you are screwed.

Acid

get down on your knees and pray to god. :P or just go steal money from a bank. (Your already going to jail.) Or maybe you'll get lucky and have to pay a fine

liquidluva13
