Have you ever been called for Jury Duty? (both)

I was called about 20 years ago. The case was one where someone crashed into a car parked on the side of a country road and cause major injuries to the owner of the parked car.
The person who hit him was charged with "Reckless Driving causing injury"
Found him not guilty because the parked car was on a corner and the other car had really no time to take evasive action.
Trial took two days.
I was paid two days wages, tax free.

@Keepitsimple The US must have a different system than Australia. Here it is a random draw from the Electoral Roll, so as to get a real cross section of society.

I don’t know how it works I just know that I get called every three years. I wouldn’t mind it but it’s all BS. I would be a juror every time too except Now I know that if I say I don’t trust medical documentation the judge says to me “thank you, you’re excused.@Gusman
