When I had federal jury duty, not only did the judge send US Marshals out to arrest the no-shows, he didn't take ANY excuses for getting out of jury duty. One guy had just dropped his wife off for back surgery and she'd be bed-ridden for weeks with only him to help her. Too bad. That judge was a serious hard-ass and bragged about trying to get a law passed that made the governor eligible for jury duty.
