I didn't even know I was being called for jury duty until last wednesday. My
brother emailed me about it thinking it was just some kind of joke since I
don't live there.

I figure if they do arrest me, I'll demand a trial by a jury of my peers.
Nobody in their right mind would convict me. But I'll also try to contact
the courthouse on monday.

This is just such a nightmare. My brother is impossible to contact because
he only plugs his phone in if he wants to call somebody. Leave it in and the
telemarketers drive him nuts.
