I mean, have you recieved a summons (letter) either from your municpality or another in which you’re selected to be a juror. You show up to the courts and assigned a number along with being asked about occupation, status, etc. but is the probability even that high on becoming part of the 12 jurors? Is it a criminal offense for failing to appear?

    Got called to sit in a courtroom for several hours - the defendant saw all the juriers coming in and got scared and agreed to the plea bargin offer at the last minute. Never saw jury selection, just 40 of us waiting for things to happen. (i was on call for 3 months and only had to appear that one time - tiny county I’m told federal trails in the nearby city you are on call for a week)
