But, it's so much fun (NOT!) to get off track!
Anyway, I've been called several times. I've only served three times. Two were city court cases [60 in a 45 mph zone down a city street (guilty) and a car vandalism case (guilty).] I served as the jury foreman in one of those two; I just don't remember which one.
The third was a county court case - a divorce trial. That case lasted a week and a half.
There was an enormous discrepancy between his earnings and her potential to earn and provide, and it was the judge's job to split the property and established the child support payment. Our job (the jury's job) was only to determine custody of the two children. We awarded joint custody with his residence as the primary residence.
I think it's against the law to dock an employee's pay and to require that they use accrued vacation/PTO while they're on jury duty, so I didn't miss any pay at work or lose any vacation time. Plus, for jury duty, the city/county paid me five bucks a day. WOO HOO!
