I tricked off my jury duty!! whats next? am i getting arrested??

Question

i missed jury duty unintentionally im from kansas.. what will happen???

Answer 1

im sure there not gonna do anything..lol i they tried to get me to go 3 times now here in pa and i basically told them 2 ***** off but just tell them you were sick or somethin but i highly doubt theyll even ask you

Answer 2

I feel so sorry for you. When they find out where you are then the jury foreman will have you appear before him/her and slap the cowboy snot out of you........

Answer 3

Probably nothing.  Judges generally do not sanction people for missing jury duty.  You could, however, end up with a warrant for your arrest.

Here's a novel approach.  Go to the courthouse where you were supposed to appear, explain to the clerk that you missed your jury duty and ask to be rescheduled.  This act of good faith will almost certainly keep you in the clear!

Answer 4

they will put out a bench warrent for your arrest. i suggest you contact them immediately , if not sooner.

Answer 5

Call the court and tell them what happened, a warrant can be issued for your arrest so at least make an effort to explain what happened.

Answer 6

When you are called, they take roll call to see that all are present.  Then they usually send th sheriff to your house to fetch you.  

When they call people to jury duty, they call in about 50 people and then choose the 7,9, or 11 from that group.  There were enough people there to take your place.  

Other than that, I really don't know...I hardly think that the police are going to chase you down though, after all you didn't kill someone or commit a robbery.

If someone does send you another summons, make sure you go and explain.
