A similar thing happened in Utah a few years ago when a combination of no- shows and disqualifications depleted the pool of prospective jurors . I have had the honor and privilege to serve on two criminal trials and two Courts martial . Show up and serve .Give someone a fair trial . It may be a wrongly accused Freeper .

no- shows and disqualifications

The jury pools I've been in might as well have been American Idol auditions given the number of disqualifications. Plaintiff or defense attorneys will dismiss potential jurors like popcorn spilled in a movie theater. It's a waste of the court's time and taxpayer's money, not to mention the scores of jurors who are called and don't serve, wasting time waiting on the prima donna lawyers.
