I’m really glad to see you posting again, Citizen Will.
I was called several times during the 2 years that we lived in Georgia (got out of the 1st just because I was a student, the last because we moved back to NC right before I was supposed to serve. Can’t remember if there was 3rd in the middle).
But in the 31 years I’ve lived in NC (20 as legal age), I’ve never been called.
Was called & was elected foreman on a car accident case about 10 yrs ago that never should have gone to trial. Greed motivated the plaintiff. Was a good learning experience.
I know it was a long shot and maybe a total waste of time but….
I ran into Judge Baddour yesterday and it turns out he would’ve been the sitting judge. The defendant opted for a bench trial so we were dismissed.
Interestingly, my relationship with Allen would not have been an immediate disqualifier.
Next chance to serve is two years out.
