Jury Duty
I got a Juror Summons for Federal Court in Ocala for
this Mon., July 3rd. So I called the number and I've been excused. Now they tell me to do the same thing 3 weeks from now. I didn't know they could just " roll it forward" like that. Has this happend to anyone else?

They deal with all kinds of cases that have Federal Jurisdiction. Good luck with this. The jury found for the Claremont police department but the Judge had some harsh words for the alleged harassers. It was in the Orlando paper and might have been on one of the local news stations too. Then I got another Sumter County Jury Summons in May of 2014. Had one first around 2007 but told them I was busy with legal stuff. So, I knew I would eventually get recalled by the Sumter Court Clerk of Court. The defendant plead guilty in that matter so the whole jury pool got to go home. I had e-mailed the Clerk of Court a rather lengthy narrative of my experiences with the legal system so as not to blindside them when they started in with the VOIR DIRE questions as they can get extremely complicated in answers for some people.

I believe in Florida, if you receive the notice that you are to be available for jury duty selection, you can be excused if you are over the age of 70. You can request being excused due to age. However, if you are over 70, receive the notice to be available for jury duty, and you want to serve, you will be allowed to appear for jury selection.

These were in Sonoma County, CA where the Judge said he noticed me around the Law Library looking at their materials for survivors/victims of crimes. The Prosecutor bumped me of off the Jury. Probably because I helped prisoners when at the U of MN Law School through Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners. The Court was in Santa Rosa, CA. This was around 1995. Then in Pinellas County, FL., around 2003 where they booted me because I had a law degree but I had also been checking their law library for stuff to help survivors/victims of crimes. The Sumter County 2007 Summons I just told them I was busy with getting the Florida Victim Services Directory connected to libraries and why I wanted to do that. At least, that is what I think I did. The Ocala Federal Jury Summons connected to the same experiences of me and law libraries and I did the May 2014 Sumter County one. They keep you on a tight rein up there so I could not check out if they even had a Law Library up there in Ocala in the Federal Building. They do not want you talking with other people all that much when in the Jury Pool. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 07-01-2017 at 09:02 AM. |

I was called when I lived in Tampa a few times.
Had to report in and then was excused. I never knew if you didn't have to report they could then do the same 3 weeks later. I hope in 3 weeks they don't do the same thing! This could keep going all Summer. Thanks for the responses!
