I haven't been asked to do Jury Duty in 6 years. Could it mean that I was red-flagged? (college)

[w55w]

at around the time when I was a college student I was asked to do jury duty. i responded, told to go to the courtroom, and got placed on a jury for a civil case.

turns out that my reasoning ability and personal integrity meant that I could not possibly honestly say that I thought that the accused person was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and I found myself hanging the jury...

one of the jurors angrily mentioned that it was disturbing that a person like me got placed on a jury. I also think it is disturbing that a person like her got assigned with the task of deciding a person's life, but that's not the point...

The point is that it's been 6 years since the last time I did jury-duty and to this day I have not received a single letter asking me to do jury duty. (I thought I was eligible for jury duty after 3 years since the last time I did jury duty.)


I think it's likely that it just hasn't been my turn yet, and it's not like anxiously await the opportunity to play judge again, but could it be that I got red-flagged because I hung the jury? or perhaps, and I have no evidence to believe this is the case, but I suppose it is within the realm of possibility, could it be that another juror asked the court or the judge that I never be asked to do jury duty again?

I'm 61 y/o and only got called twice for jd. Husband is 64 and also only got called twice. For each of us it was one time in MA and one time in FL. The system is random. There's nothing personal about jury duty.

It's gonna happen.

Like they said, random. I got called twice in my whole life, and a third time under three years after the first time. Didn't serve either time. It did seem for a year that a lot of my coworkers were all getting called, and I wondered if there's some sort of bucket by profession or organization.

It just means you are lucky.

I'm just about to turn 30, and have never once been called to jury duty. Beginning to wonder if I'm red-flagged, or simply blessed

Why does this even concern you? Most people dread being called for jury duty as it means a loss of work hours which equals a loss of pay unless $5 a day works for you? If it makes you feel better, I haven't been called for jury duty in many, many years which I am thankful for! And no...I was never on a jury to be black listed like you think you are
