Could not imagine having to serve as a juror for multi-month long trial like the O.J. Simpson trial. |
I believe it is $15.00 per day unless you are off of work with pay then it is nothing for the first few days. This is for Sumter County.
I doubt if they will want me on the Jury with all my baggage as I have some kind of connection to just about every kind of case that might come up. Lots of interactions with survivors of crimes from February 25, 1976 onward, some with inmates and ex-inmates, more with insurance claims people through father, others through various first responders among relatives, etc. My Uncle Alvin was the Itasca Fire Chief in 1979 when Flight 191 went down and he told me about his memories responding to that with his people. Very traumatic for these people.
