I received a summons for jury selection on Feb 24, if selected the trial is expected to last 10 weeks!!!!!!
I immediately informed all of my parents and asked them to write letters stated that a trial of that length would cause extreme hardship. Which they all did, and I sent them all in with copies of their financial agreements the following week.
Fast forward to now, I am supposed to go to the jury selection on Monday and I have not heard from the court saying that I am excused so I have to assume that I am not. I am panicking because I WILL lose my business if I am selected, I will lose almost $10,000.
I told all the parents tonight that I have not heard back and they were not impressed to say the least. Both my Daughter and Husband are home on Monday so I told the parents that everything would stay as normal since they all know my husband and daughter.
Any suggestions as to what to say on Monday to get out of being selected for a 10 week trial! I will definitely emphasize that I WILL lose my business but they already know that since I put it in my letter to the judge.
Thanks for reading.
