Default Anyone get summoned for jury duty in Marion County?

I've read that in Florida the rate of no shows to jury duty is 10% and some county's are don't even bother holding no shows in contempt since people in Florida are very transient. I just got my jury duty call and will most likely be a no-show. Wonder if Marion County is like other counties and ignore no shows. At the very least I'm glad to just send my 100$ check to pay the fine in advance. Seriously a state that judicial systems can't even follow through on counting ballots can't be serious in tracking down no show jurors?
