Warrant out for me

[LauraLesleyLogan]

I've done something stupid and failed to show up at Jury duty which I know is so wrong though have had different things to deal with recently which I know is no excuse.

Now it appears a warrant has been issued for my arrest. I have had a phone call to say I have to go to the police station and could be locked up to appear in court.

Anyone know whats likely to happen to me. Proper bricking it.

Scary though self inflicted.

Just wanted to wish OP good luck this morning.

Hope you're ok OP, what an awful experience for you :(

Thinking of you OP and hope your night was ok.
Good luck today

Good luck OP

Hope it went ok

Hope your night went ok OP and you managed to get some sleep and all goes well in court today.

Hope you're ok today op

This is quite an eye opener, I haven't been called for jury service, I'd go if I was but I had no idea it would be so serious not to.

Oh OP I hope you're ok. I was thinking of you throughout the night

Hope it went as well as it could

Hope you are okay, OP, and out.

Thinking of you, LLL, you've done really well to attend voluntarily. I'm sure that will have gone in your favour.

Checking back for an update. Thinking of you op!

Hope you're ok op.

For others possibly reading you can get exemption from jury duty for mh reasons if serious enough (genuinely) I have quite serious mh issues and panicked when I got called. Cpn explained this and I got a Drs letter to support (psychiatrist not GP).

I would have been useless as if I'm anxious (which I really would have been) my decision making goes to pot anyway!

Sorry, I've not read the whole thread but I'm a criminal lawyer in Scotland and find this a bit odd. Usually this would only happen if person was a sitting juror in an already begun trial. This seems very unusual just for not turning up to be potentially picked. As I said though, I've not had a chance to read the whole thread so may have missed something.

Sorry - meant to say - but you DO have to notify the court ASAP and not mess them about.

Checking in for an update, hope you are ok OP. I can't imagine how worried you must have been last night.

Hope You're alright OP and it wasn't too rough a night

Hope you are ok Op and it wasn't too bad

Hope everything went ok
OP xx

Go to your Dr as an emergency, tell them that you are very stressed by the idea of jury duty, sleepless nights, the worry you'd get it wrong, or whatever. Then you have registered a 'sick note'!! :))

lance A doctor isn't going to retrospectively provide any documentation like that. Doctors aren't going to risk their reputation and registration because someone didn't go to court when instructed.

If a doctor issues a sick note it won't be done retrospectively.

Ffs the OP has said numerous times she did the wrong thing and has never tried to make excuses. Anyway the matter will have been dealt with by now

I don't really have any advice but didn't want to read and run. I think it's utterly ridiculous that they do this to people, surely that money and use of resources could be going on 'actual' criminals!!

sugar'For the umpteenth time, the only resources used for this are custody stuff, transport court etc. No police officers were used.
