    I have been 4 times but only served once.

    I am thinking about unregistering to vote so I never have to do it again.

    Maybe I will get someone's street racing. Doubt it though.

    I just looked it up. Turns out they use the voter registration list as one of many sources. Some states still just use the voter registration list but Ga isn't one of them.

    I was picked once as an alternate juror for a wrongful death lawsuit. 18 year old kid was hit and killed by a tractor trailer. Whole trial took 1 week.

    Thank God I was an alternate. I think I felt the opposite of everyone else and I'm glad I didn't have to decide.

    That's because prior military does not get called for Jury Duty.

    I got picked for jury duty last year and got assigned to a murder trial. I got dismissed immediately of course, but that would've been an interesting experience, I was a little bummed...

    Jury duty is dull and it can be a huge waste of time, but it's a very important function...
