No clue o-o Hard time finding people who post about getting in trouble for skipping Jury Duty.
BUT Every state have different rules or punishment.
Fine from $500 to $2,000 + Time serve in Jail.
From what I read on Massachusetts site o-o There's 5 steps.
- Failure to Appear Notice. They'll sent you a mail asking why or what excuse you have to miss.
- Notice of Delinquency. You'll receive this mail now for ignoring Number 1.
- Application for Criminal Complaint. You'll get this mail for ignoring Number 2. Saying you'll need to show up for YOUR Court. Ouch.. xD
- Summons for Defendant (Arraignment) Notice. ... More like a second notice for Number 3.
- Warrant. Here we are.. Warrant for your arrest.
Just do what I did.. Just GO, The sooner you get it over with the better you have to stress over it.
First week they didn't call my number. So I didn't need to show up.
Second week. They called my number on Tuesday. Went for 3 days. I didn't get pick for a case and they dismissed me on Thursday. Since I.. I guess it is my second week lol they won't make you stay for 3 weeks unless you get pick to be on a case that go over beyond your second week. But I wasn't on a case :D
