Served on my first jury many, many years ago, in Saint Louis. Subsequently, was called regularly every third year. But, never actually served again!

I think the attorneys discovered that
1] the first case on which I served resulted in a conviction of the defendant, and
2] I had a college degree, whereas most called in the city did not, and
3] the Federal Grand Jury on which I also served once uncovered many prosecutable cases!

Since I came to Florida just over seven years ago, not a peep from the judicial system!

I'd like to see how different things might be here!
