Leaving for Napa tomorrow morn

I was only called once for jury duty (in Maryland back in the 70's) and had only been in the state a few weeks! I was excused because I was attending a series of weekly orientations for my new job. Never called again (of course I spent about twelve years in Germany). My mother kept getting dismissed from juries because she knew either the prosecuting attorney or the defender or both (she grew up in that town and knew a fair percentage of the population). Finally she did serve on a jury in a case about the death of a race horse and whether it was due to negligence or accident. I think she was dismissed in another case about a stabbing.
