Got in trouble for not respond to jury duty notice Brooklyn ny?
Ok I recieved a notice sayin I fail to respond a questionar what Ever it’s call so when I got the notice the mail was months old thanks to my Sis who take care my mail knowing I moved out since 2006 so I get mail late so I ain’t pay mind to it it also said I can get fine if I don’t show up on a certain date which been past . That same week I open the old letter my Sis called and said another mail came in which was up to date and said show up within 10 days or fine against you blah blah lol my problem is I don’t have a sitter and don’t want to do jury so my question is do you think it ok to still mail it in with a excuse sayin something I no they won’t want as one of their jurors? If you have any story pz let me hear them also the mail is frm Bronx county and I live in Brooklyn any help ??
Lol, they do not care. You have to find a sitter. You have to go in or you’ll be fined. If you don’t pay the fine, you get a bench warrant for your arrest. You’re really making it worse on yourself than it should be. The only way you can fight it is if you are deathly ill (and you’ll need to bring a doctor’s note) or if you are already planning on being out of the state (you’ll need to show them your airline ticket stubs, etc.). You have to make the initial appearance, if they don’t call you for service on any jury, you’re done. If they do call you, then you can appeal to the judge and tell them why you cannot serve- it depends on the judge and the lawyers whether or not you’re dismissed or kept. It’s likely you’ll only have to go in for the one day- you owe it to your community to show up. You’d want your community to show up on your behalf if YOU needed, right? After that- appeal it, and I hope you don’t have to serve. But by playing this immature avoidance game with a government system, you’re just setting yourself up for failure and heavy fines.
mail it with an explanation you are a primary caregiver to a young child should get you off with some documentation like a copy of birth certificate.
