I was up for Jury Duty the week of November 8th. That was the week with the Veteran's Day Holiday here in the U.S. I didn't have the go in the first 3 days and because of the holiday I was considered to have completed my duty.
The last time I was called in for a murder trial. I was voire dired for most of one day but was released because I was prejudiced against the defendant (they shared some of the facts of the case which made me prejudiced). I donated my $15 pay to a Children's Charity.
I'm a freelance person, so I don't get jury duty pay or sick days or vacation days. A long trial would financially difficult for me.
