Why do people feel the need to comment on a 4 year old post? What were you searching for that you decided you needed to register and comment on this topic?

Also maybe you should be breaking the law and putting your destiny in the hands of complete strangers

So, your personal needs are more important, than the other citizens who are called for service? There are some valid reasons a juror could be excused.


A single trial may impanel only 12 jurors, but in a county like Bexar, there may be ten new trials in a given day, especially when you consider it's not only criminal cases, but civil, too. Then, there is San Antonio Municipal Court, which culls the County jury pool, if they have a jury trial. And don't forget about Juvenile Court, too. They may need some.


And to get down to those 12 jurors, they may screen a pool of 50, sometimes even more. So you would be talking about a need for a few hundred people per day in Bexar County.

In comparison to which country's justice system on all the earth? China's? Russian, Brazil?
