I have jury duty Tuesday

[Rich Hunt]

Yikes. I have jury duty on Tuesday. It's in a suburb called Markham, which is kind of weird.

Is it normal to spring it on someone? It doesn't appear to be in my district, I don't live there. I just found out last week - very strange.

3. I Wonder...

... could it be a set-up? Could the county be rounding-up everyone with outstanding and unpaid speeding violations, parking violations, etc.

I remember several years ago, there was a story about some law enforcement folks who were having trouble locating and bringing-in some folks with outstanding arrest warrants. So... they sent them an official looking announcement about a contest that they had won... along with instructions about where to show up to claim their "prize". After everyone was safely in the room, the doors were locked and a general "you're-under-arrest" announcement was made.

But... you probably have nothing to worry about. I'm just letting my imagination run wild. (You did remember to pay that parking ticket, right?)

2. When did you get notified?

They gave me about a month's notice.
