Need help concerning jury duty

[hd&boatrider]

? for you guys...What if I do not show up for jury duty in Riverside County? What happens next?
I have served on juries in the past but they are insisting I show up next week and I can't. Just wondering what is going to be the process if you don't show....
Just facts please

I get summons sometimes,but I never go.I still cant figure how they will know if you got it in the mail or not.

If you just got summoned, yes.
The higher the number...the less likely you'll have to serve. They make you call each night, and call in jurors in batches.
I was in the 900's last time, and never went in. It all depends on how many cases they got going.

tom, I don't think they can prove that you received your notice?!?!
OR send it back and draw swasticas and write a bunch of racist comments on it. They won't want you then.

Tom, There should be something written on the summons somewhere what the penalty is. But again, I know for a fact there is ALOT of mail theft going on in Corona these days:wink:

To the big house.
Just kidding.
Worse case would be contempt...not sure what the fine is.
BTW...they have little cameras and GPS trackers in those notices, so they know when you got it.

I have postponed it before and this is the reschedule if you will. They said I am not excused and need to call them to discuss it further. What do you think Slink.....They going to come bust my door down come Tuesday Morning...lol
Seriously, I can't make it I don't want some damn warrant out for me for not showing up for jury duty or something like that.
