I received a jury summons for Orange County Superior Court late last year. The deadline to register online and check your status was last Friday, January 3, 2025. Since I am retired, I really have no good excuse not to serve my time on a jury. Therefore, I filled out the questionnaire indicating I could serve.
Over the past weekend, however, I started to have some doubts. Even though I tested COVID free a few months ago, I still have a nasty and loud cough. That will get me many dirty looks from the other jurors and disrupt the court proceedings. Additionally, I am still wearing the CROW boot. The longest I have worn the boot was only several hours. I have no experience wearing it continuously for 8 to 9 hours. After pondering the worst-case scenario, I call the Juror Service phone line, and postponed my jury service to January 31, 2025, due to medical reasons.
I really want to sit on as jury not that I am retired, especially if involves any type of financial or engineering evidence. I did near both counsels do not like knowledgeable people since the lawyer’s job is to spin a believable story for the jury to follow.
