Should I Be Normal™ in the chance it would let me nullify an unjust conviction, or simply deliver a communist diatribe during the selection process

    Can they actually prove you got a summons in the mail? After they wasted a day of my time sitting at a court house I juat ignored any other jury summons I got and nothing ever came of it.

      It’s usually sent certified mail or some similar thing. If you don’t respond they will resend and eventually ‘hand deliver’. OP probably won’t be picked for some kinda arbitrary unstated reason. Or maybe it will be like:

      Q:“Would you trust a cop’s testimony more or less than an ordinary citizen’s?”

      A: “Uhhhh…”

      Q: “Dismissed.”

      I wouldn’t risk the warrant tbh. Depending on how busy the district is, there might not even be a trial scheduled during the term. I’ve been summoned a lot for some reason, and most of the time haven’t had to do anything other than acknowledge the initial summons.
