When I got called for the same thing I was leaving the country before the first day of the... trial I guess?

I had to go all the way to the court house to clear this up, and the woman there had the audacity to tell me that I should cancel my flight. When I laughed, she remained entirely stone faced.

I ignored her and got a letter in the mail with another date and a threat, that I didn't see because I wasn't in the country. Nothing came of it though.

I did eventually get called to jury duty again but that time I only had to call in. I called in, some woman read through a huge list of numbers, got to mine and said "call again tomorrow". They did that for two more days, then I got another call where a woman interviewed me about whether or not I supported closing Riker's, which was fucking weird. Apparently Riker's sucks but I'd never heard anything about it so answered pretty much every question with "I don't know", because I didn't".

And then I got a call that said I was released from jury duty.

I freelance for a living and got assigned grand jury. i can’t make money if I don’t work.. I went into the office and explained that and they dropped it to petit jury.. which I ended up having to serve on a trial when I showed up bc I told the ADA I supported legalizing weed funny enough.
