I'm not even sure people are called to decide on other people's fate over here. Jury duty seems to be an American thing, but I'm not sure.

Perhaps it's an English-judicial system thing. It was the Magna Carta, (I'm pretty sure) that set up trial by a jury of one's peers. It depends on the offense, of course - no jury would convict on a parking offense
Canada, England, the USA, I'd be willing to bet on Australia and New Zealand, and probably others of English colonial history.
