    Juty duty should be ABOLISHED or at least, voluntary. This is not really a free country (USA). A free country does not force you to serve in juty duty. Where are the freedoms? So on top they force me, they gonna threat me with a high fine and jail time? Thats not freedom. If I serve again in juty duty, i wont pay attention to the case and am gonna say whatever, if is guilty or not. Am sure a lot of people does the same. Jury duty is a flawed system that its time to abolished. All Asian countries already abolish that bs. Also, other countries. What the USA is wating for?

    So putting a person in jail who never have a criminal record would be the consequences for his actions… great. Another life wasted.

      people can hate on me for "blaming the system" all they want, as my crimes are MY crimes. But my god.....the court system DOES need reform. So many of the people.......a system of mandates OR jail. No options. Blanket sentences, particularly on addicts, shoddy mental health system, and if you have no insurance and mess up? You could be looking at a year in jail or YEARS in prison. It's f-----ed up. It is.

    "Any prospective trial juror who has been summoned for service, and who fails to attend as directed or to respond to the court or jury commissioner and to be excused from attendance may be attached and compelled to attend."
    It's indentured servitude. They only pay $15 a DAY starting on 2nd day here in LA too and is a huge burden on your life.

      You mean “involuntary servitude.” Paying us $15 a day is not payment, it’s a spit in our face… Jury Duty is literally legalized coercion.

    at the very least, expand the list of excuses. What about those of us who ARE mentally ill? Depression and stress so bad you can't even get out of bed any longer. Their solution? JAIL. It has to stop. 2022 folks, not the Reagan Era. Come on.

    at least my court has the common sense to realize that some of us very much value service like this, not to mention working and being contributing members of society. Thank god they don't send the police to our doors. I want to be of service to the court. Some days right now, I can't even motivate myself to get out of bed. The system is indeed a mess. With this many people being summoned, RANDOMLY to serve. out of nowhere....thank god they don't LOCK US UP for that. Go ahead and praise law and order all you wish. Some of our laws no longer align with reality in 2022. Yeah, the only other solution, ultimately, is JAIL. Kinda funny how people are now WILLINGLY choosing JAIL over probation, jury duty, etc. Justice is great. But justice is not everything life is about. If it were, we would not need courts or laws. god, we need an overhaul. My god.....we have GOT to make the justice system more efficient. No more waiting MONTHS just to be arraigned!

      just call the court, or call your attorney. This post is from two years ago it appears. I am in that boat at this very moment. I missed jury duty going on two days ago. So far.....no.....the police as I am terrified of, are not rolling down the driveway or knocking on or DOWN the front door. I am calling first thing tomorrow. Hope I am not too late.
