Most employees will not dock your pay. I had one once who deducted the $9 a day from my check. Since I am now an owner I pay myself. Since 2000 I've been called 4 times. Once I was dismissed because I knew the defendants. Twice I lucked out and didn't get picked. The one time I served it was for a case of a brutal armed robbery. Trial lasted 4 days. Two defendants; the first we found guilty in about 2 minutes. The second one we deadlocked on for 7 hours. This was in July and all but one person wanted not guilty on the second guy. Mostly based on their desire to go on vacation. Finally convinced the holdout (me) to let the guy off. (Seen the movie 'Nine Angry Women'?) Got done at midnight; the balif said we set a record for latest deliberation.

It is interesting and very serious business (at least to me) but one thing is true, no one tells the truth, at least not the whole truth.
