[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1189078, member: 43502"] Agreed, it is so difficult to get people, let me correct myself, good people to serve. I served on a murder/insanity trial for approximately 1 1/2 months and I never once tried to get out of it. I got paid nothing but the lovely $15 dollar a day allowance and that was used up for the food and drink. You would not believe the people that tried to get out of it, but the judge was a real ball-buster and allowed almost nothing to get past him. Even if you claimed financial hardship, he kept you accountable and made you do your civic duty. Lots of people claimed "no speaky english", but the Judge fixed that quickly with tricky questions. He was a good judge and I liked his scary tactics. As much as I enjoyed working on this trial, it was also one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. The deliberations were the absolute worst part and we almost had a hung jury. I would encourage people to not throw away those summons and get in the experience just once. [/QUOTE]
