Here is an interesting story about a juror's ordeal to schedule a convenient date to serve his jury duty.
One by one, citizens of Baltimore who had failed to show up for jury duty stood before the judge. Some pleaded they were sick or busy, and showed letters from doctors. Most simply agreed to pick a date and sign a summons, and the judge kindly dismissed charges that could have sent some to jail for a year.
Eric King brought a lawyer and requested a hearing.
