Jury Duty

[tonado]

Today I received a jury duty notice and I thought it can't be for me because I just served last year in Sept. Then I noticed the mail is for my wife. How did they screw up? She is not even a Citizen. Only US Citizen can serve Jury Duty. I will respond back to them that she is disqualified from serving. How did they get her name? It must be from the Motor Registry.

Look at the number #1 reason for disqualification, Tony.

Your wife's greencard is proof of disqualification. You may need to show the courts.

You could always have her show up. Then she needs to hound the court for her citizenship papers, because they only have US citizens on a jury and they wouldn't have called her if she wasn't.

She can do that, but any case with a non-citizen on the jury would be thrown out. I believe they have to sign a statement to the effect that they are qualified for jury duty.

That's funny that you mention that Tony. I just got in the mail a jury duty questionairre for my parents. They have been dead for 7 and 9 years.

My wife has rec'd 2 notices

 

Qualifies for 2 ¨C disqualifications ¨C non US Citizen and Custodian of a 3 year old.

 

Yes they do get the names from the DMV, which means they use a shotgun effect because of all of the non-citizens that we have especially here in Texas¡­

In Houston, when they were short, they've been known to send deputies over to the shopping center and pick out jurors there!

Now theres a jury of your peers, the Texas version of Valley Girl.

The link below was on my email at work this morning. It made me think of Tony's post here. I don't know why the IT security geeks sent it out this morning when the FBI notice was from over a year ago.

 

I guess you can say, "What comes around, goes around?"...
