I've just recieved notice of jury duty in November. I'm experienced with it, I've been called 6 or 7 times before and served 3 times. But I haven't been called in the last couple of years, and during that time I've had some real problems. I've been hospitalized 3 times for psychiatric illness, the last time in March. I'm much better now, stabalized on an anti-psychotic and an anti-depressant.Does anyone know if this disqualifies me as a juror? I actually don't mind jury duty, but I don't feel like stating that I'm a basket-case in court. On the other hand, you hear about criminal trials being overturned because of the most amazing technicalities.
I can still drive, I can still vote. I can do just about anything, I guess, except buy a gun. (And that's okay.) The questionaire with the jury notice asks only if I am mentally or physically disabled. I'm sure not recieving any form of disability payments.
I guess I should just keep my mouth shut?
