Hopefully dodged a bullet today. Orlando Sentinel had a blurb stating that jury notices had gone out in Seminole County for the Zimmerman trial with the summons date being 6/11. Went to get the mail today (seminole county) and lo and behold there is a jury summons with my name on it with a date of 6/10. I'm pretty sure that being trial aware would keep me off of a criminal jury--not so sure about a civil one.
Oh you poor thing-here have a :cupcake:, it will make you feel better.
I was called to jury duty last December. Defendant was a lawyer, who was being sued by his client (for something or other). Before they picked the jury, the lawyers asked various questions to the potential jurors. One question that was asked: Do you think lawyers are above the law or special (something like that). I told them that I like lawyers and another lady said she didn't like lawyers. Needless to say, both of us didn't get picked--:floorlaugh:
Good-luck.
