    I’ve been in the pool for a little over 20 years. I’ve been summoned 3 times, asked questions once, and never been selected. If you stay in one area I’m pretty sure you’re certain to get selected at some point because they don’t typically choose completely randomly. Usually after being selected you can’t get selected again for some time. If you move around, maybe you never get selected since it’s more random selection. Probably still nearly certain if you live a reasonable length of time though.

    There are offenses for not showing up. Couldn’t tell you what they are though. I’m pretty sure in my jurisdiction you get put into the next group of potential jurors. Not sure what happens if you keep not showing up.

    The excuses are ridiculous. “well, uhhh, you see… we won’t send him to a place we already know will take him and he wants to go to because we’re asking yet another country he doesn’t want to go to if they’ll take him. We already started the process so we don’t want to waste our effort.”

    And who cares that he didn’t list the country 7 year ago? Should people keep a ranked choice list of where they’d like to be sent to? They guy is willing to go to Costa Rica. Costa Rica is willing to take him. You also want him out of the country. The only reason you wouldn’t just let him go to Costa Rica is because you’re a petty piece of shit that just wants to make people suffer.

    Not that I didn’t already know that. This is just more evidence.
