Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
I have no idea what got me thinking about this, but in my 17 years as a registered voter (I’ll let you do the math on this ;)), I have never once been called for jury duty. Never. Ever. And I am wondering if this is crazy or normal? I know some people have been called multiple times and I can’t help but wonder how they pick?
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t necessarily want to get picked for jury duty, but if I got called, I would happily serve my few days and be done with it. What I don’t want though, is to serve on a jury for weeks, months, whatever. I can’t help but wonder how people’s lives are affected if they are on a jury (like the Casey Anthony trial or whatever) for an extended period of time. That is not something I would ever be down for. Maybe that makes me a bad American? I’m not sure, but at least I’m honest!
So now I want to know, have you ever been called? How long did you serve? Did you love it? Hate it? Or were you just indifferent?
