The judge called us in once just so we could take a look at the courtroom! The second time was just before we moved house, so I applied to have it transferred to near our new home, but apparently there is no court near our new home. I live so far from the nearest crown court (as distinct from a magistrate's court, which doesn't have a jury) that I won't be called to jury duty for as long as I live here. I'm rather disappointed by this. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this story, it sounds fascinating, if rather traumatic.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250366594787079147.post-20807120715482294192015-03-10T11:20:21.742-07:002015-03-10T11:20:21.742-07:00Thanks, Anna! xoxoThanks, Anna! xoxoLisa Page Rosenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959648783502475353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250366594787079147.post-34845506809752655392015-03-10T11:13:18.868-07:002015-03-10T11:13:18.868-07:00I'm so glad you nailed those crooks!

About three months after I retired I got the notice! I was so excited that I'd finally be able to serve on a jury....at 3 a.m. on the morning I was to arrive I woke up with vomiting, diarrhea, and a 101.4 fever. I had to call the courthouse to let them know, and the nice lady said they'd call me next time. That was five years ago, and I haven't heard back.Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408495829569772826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250366594787079147.post-48804510078482656482015-03-10T04:19:10.197-07:002015-03-10T04:19:10.197-07:00Thank you so much!
