Jury duty

[Zundfolge]

48 years old .. have never been called.

Not sure why.. I'm registered as "unaffiliated" on my voter registration, not sure what else would play in to my favor considering most people I know have been selected at some point.

I'm a business owner and generally sole employee. Having to take time off to serve would fuck me financially. Though I'm generally Libertarian in my views so I suspect I would be released pretty quick after any interviews.

They don't just pull from registered voter pools anymore, they also pull from Property Tax rolls. So you've just got lucky.

Ah.. I'm not a homeowner either..

Do you own a car? You pay property tax on a car.

Grand Jury is a real commitment.
I had an employee called and she served a full day each week for a year.
We had to pay her salary and she did not have to report in or make up any time to the company.
All of us considered it part of being a citizen of the US to cover for her.
Only real disappointment was she wasn't allowed to discuss anything about what she heard or saw.

I'm not sure how they names to serve. I've been at my current address for 14 years, called once.

My mom passed in another county. I had her mail forwarded to my address. Less than a month after she passed, she was summoned by the county I reside in. Not sure how they got her name and my address so fast. Called the number to get her excused. Asked if they cross reference records, they said no.

I've been called upon in most of the rental houses I've ever lived in.

I have been called three times and served twice. Once when I was 18 years old and I was the foreman for a civil case and once about 10 years later for a criminal case. Both were very good experiences and I would love to do it again.

I'm 57, owned houses in Denver and Jefferson Cty continually since I was 23, usually at least two cars and have never been called. Not sure how I avoided all this. Part of me thinks I am lucky, part of me thinks it would be interesting to serve.

Last time I was called in, it was for an attempted murder or something like that (tried to run over someone with a car on purpose) charge that was going to trial. I was the only one out of the initial batch that was discharged after questioning.
The defense lawyer had a great question, "What stickers do you have on your car?" My response was the CO AR-15 logo...

Method used for Colorado jury selection

This court randomly selects jurors from voter registration lists, driver license records, and state-issued adult identification records, by a computerized method.
This selection process creates the court’s "Master Jury Wheel." (This term originated in the days when names were placed into a large barrel-type wheel and turned around to mix them up. Today, computers are used to select names randomly.) From the "Master Jury Wheel," jurors are randomly selected for a one month term of service or occasionally longer depending on the court's jury needs. Each prospective juror is mailed a summons for jury service and instructed to complete a juror qualification questionnaire. The summons contains instructions regarding the term of jury service. The questionnaire is to be completed and returned electronically or by U.S. mail.
