첫댓글I’ve no idea of how it would disturb you and how long it takes your time. Nevertheless, a juror must be much better than a defendant…^&^ In the meantime, I've learned that the fine fee over $1,000 will be put on unless the appointees would show up with any good excuses, to my surprise, comparing with $25 of daily pay for the attendance.
He has retired and stays home. He has to go because he doesn't have any excuse to make. The only thing is he doesn't like to get involved in other people's business. I am just wondering what kind of criminals he'll be facing in the court.

I do scare to face any criminals.
I think it's a great honor to be on the jury.
No matter how honorable he is , the service charge is too cheap.
Still, it's something to celebrate.
Don't worry. He will do very well.
Have a good Chuseok holiday!! ^&^
Serving on the jury is not for the money.
It's just public service to bring justice for a victim and the future public safety.
Enjoy your remaining holiday.
