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 Jury Duty - Courts - Sumter County Clerk of the Courts 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. |
This morning, I sent the Clerk of the Sumter County Court a short e-mail about my work since February 1976 fighting for access to practical information accessible in or through libraries for victims/survivors of crimes. I did mention the February 24, 1976 murder of Michelle Mitchell in Reno, Nevada as well as the study on the unemployed at the UCSF Health Campus (San Francisco) back in 1992-1993 when I was subject #613. In addition, I also mentioned that I had tried to do as much of this work as possible in writing as Law School did teach me to leave a paper trail. Also mentioned my four degrees and when and where I earned these.
I do hope that I get to serve on a Jury for once. After four tries, the fifth will be the one.
