re: #18 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance

I think it’s still random, I was called up only a couple years after serving on a jury. I was no longer needed after first call in but it’s a crapshoot here in california anyways.

I _think_ here in South Carolina, it’s 3 years’ grace if you get picked for a jury, whether it’s seated or not. It used to be that only people who voted were in the pool and I can’t tell you how many people I met who did not vote specifically because they did not want to get called for jury duty. I don’t know….I guess if existence is so hand to mouth that you literally cannot take a couple of days potentially for jury duty, I understand. But it does seem like kind of a non-citizen way of acting.
