No, but if "U.S. Marshall Alvarez" calls and tells you that you failed to appear for duty and there is a bench warrant out for your arrest, it's a scam.

It seems like there was another Villager up in Ocala on that jury. He/she might have been booted like me though as they were still not quite done when I left . They were almost done though. They did have a Jury Foreman.
I was in a pool of jurors down in Bushnell years ago. This was for Sumter County. The defendant finally was convinced to plead guilty for vehicular manslaughter after about three hours of talks between the attorneys. The judge said that the trial would have been about six weeks .
We never got to questions for the potential jurors. There were a number of Villagers there.
We did get paid for the trip there and back and for a half day.
