Jury duty and jail time........?

Question

i was arrested for street demonstration. which is a 100 dollar fine in missouri. does that mean i dont have to do jury duty ever again? i heard somewhere if you get arrested you dont have to do jury duty. true or false?

Answer 1

no i got a dui and still had to go (KS)

Answer 2

This was only a minor offence and everyone is entitled to demonstrate in the street providing it is peacefull and you are not blocking any entryways or doorways. If you were arrested and had a fine, providing you paid the fine you are still likely to do jury duty after 5 years providing you have not re-offended.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if it's the same in all states, but where I live, only if you are convicted of a felony (meaning you probably did jail or prison time) are you exempt from jury duty.
