    Yes. Once. All the other times I phoned in and I was never called in. Now I'm off the rolls entirely. They have many younger folks on whom they can call. I have never experienced what it is to be on a jury that debates the guilt or innocence of someone. I think I dodged a huge bullet. I'm glad I don't know what that's like! :)

    I have been called for jury duty twice. The first time I was excused as I was six months pregnant. The second time I went but was not picked.

    I have been called for Jury Duty, but I was not chosen. I would rather serve if I were going to sit for a few hours. The good thing is, you get a small stipend, but it turns out to be a waste of time if you are not called.

    Yes, I had just moved from georgia to sorry carolina, and hadn't changed my driver's license over yet.
    I got the notice to come to this town, about 125 miles away from me.
    I went there and checked in, sat around for about 2 hours, and was told they didn't need us anymore, we could all go home.
    3 weeks later, I got a check from them for $25, and seeings how it was an "out of state" check, had a hard time cashing it!
