the rich and powerful. What if you have agoraphobia (can't or scared to leave the home) Insomnia, Anxiety and panic attacks and severe depression. Leaving the home is horrible and usually leads me to throw up. I am to scared to leave the home or to court where I will fell like I am overpowered . I can at anytime get a dr.'s note but I don't know if that will help. I just can't do it I rather die. I would be very surprised if you couldn't get out of jury duty with a doctor's note. A lot of people have a physical or mental limitation which would interfere with jury service. My experience as a potential juror is that the lawyers and judges understand this. They also want jurors who are able to focus on the trial. Are you guys serious? Who wants to go to jury duty? My civic duty includes paying taxes to people who don't have to work hard in this country. And now I have to take time off from work to sit in a case that I absolutely don't care about. I don't believe in the jury system anyways. Everyone just wants to get the hell out and not be bothered in another 2 or 3 years. I served a 6 days long trial before back when I was in college and no one in the jury pool really give a damn about the case. and YES I agree with you, Maury! Just
