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?
I hope you just pay the fine. IMO anyone sitting on a jury with an attitude that it is a waste of their time is a travesty.
