Subpoenaed For Jury Duty

[carlie]

I received a subpoena for jury duty.

I truly do not see myself being able to due my civic duty in this way.

Several years back I was I received one and my PCP wrote out a letter for me to support

the fact that I was not physically or mentally able to do this, so I was released.

Now I have this new subpoena and am not seeing any PCP -

I took it to the Vet Center where they DO HAVE a Licensed PHD Psychologist and was told to contact my

Psychiatrist at the VAMC.

It is a bit difficult to get an appointment with her but I will try to do this tomorrow, (set up an appointment).

I am wondering why I got this new subpoena as the last one I sent them the letter from my PCP

along with a copy of my SSD award.

As rotten and mean as I can get - they really don't realize it - but I'm sure they would not want me there.

Has anyone else here dealt with this situation ?

I do slowly, pick up trash up and down our road - that's what I can do.

I live in Texas but I vote so I get jury summons more than once a year in regular mail so I choose to ignore them. After all most never see all their mail and nothing has happened to me.

I got a sheriffs summons for jury sent certified and I went to that.

A few months ago an article in Dallas paper said only 16% come to a jury summons in Dallas.

Carlie,

You apparently have told the Florida court system that you are not physically and mentally capable of performing jury duty. Now, tell them that you will not be held resdponsible for your actions if actually picked for jury duty. That the responsibility will fall on them if there is a mistrial due to you being on the jury. Around ten years ago I was called for jury duty, and most likely the last, I, along with several other people were in a court room with the Judge, Attorneys to be ask questions for final jury selection. To make a long story short, I was the only one that was asking questions among the Jurors. The Judge was really getting upset with me, as I was questioning everything that he and the Attorneys were asking, The boiling point came when one of the Attorneys for the Defendants told us that he has selected the Judge to assess the punishment and did any of the Jurors have a problem with that. My hand went up, and said this judge will slap them on their behinds, and tell them that it is societies fault they are scum bags. The Judge called in 2 Bailiffs and had me escorted out of the court house. I have never seen a Judge so upset, but I most likely will never serve jury duty again.

The truth is hard to hear even for a judge who thinks he is God. They all have the God complex.

Carlie, call the Court Clerk, explain your situation, tell them that, seeing as how you are a disabled veteran, that you have to make your doctors' appointments months in advance (surely the court clerk has been watching the news reports of the inefficiency of the VA) and simply tell them that you will be glad to send in your VA doctors' statement, but that it will take a while and ask the court clerk if you can be put on a future jury duty roster.

Larry,

I called them up again today and told them my next Drs appointment is in November.

They said write that on the form - send it in and they will extend my date 60 days.

I am kinda peeved that they are wasting money on trying to subpoena people like me

for jury duty - SSA disabled with congestive heart failure, ptsd, seizures etc...

and 60 percent VA disabled - what the heck good do they think I can do.

I think I may just go ahead and show up for it - I'm sure they won't need to ask me

more than one or two questions - hear my answers and say dismissed.............
