Wonder where the Great Fumar is?

On a more serious note, I received a Jury Duty notice for Sumter County in Friday's mail. I now have picked up these twice from Sumter County, once for Pinellas County in Florida, once from Sonoma County (part of the wine country of Northern California) and a Federal Court in Ocala.

I mentioned my victims' rights work and they excused me for jury duty in Sumter County about 8 years ago via mail. I just filled in a form. I probably will not try to get excused this time as this might be an interesting experience.

I have not actually served on a jury yet. I always have been bumped especially when I go into my explanation about my victims' right to access of information spiel. And, no, I do not describe it in terms of the identifiers I put on it since 1993 of 224 and 613 and this usually makes me come off as quite crazy. A quick refresher-- https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...49-post12.html

I may send the same group of 120 or so documents about some of my experiences with this advocacy I have had since 1990 to the Sumter County Clerk of Court http://www.sumterclerk.com/index.cfm/jury-duty so neither they or I blindside anyone with questions whose answers we do not want to go into all that much with a bunch of potential jurors listening. I had sent these 120 documents to the Federal Government last month while trying to apply for medical insurance.
