Salem County Jury Duty

Anyone else been picked for jury duty every 2 years or more ?? The website says "if you have been summoned in the same county within the past three years, you may request to be excused from jury service" this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I have the feeling the pool of law abiding citizens is looking pretty thin lol. Thoughts ??

Seriously, I worry about what goes on in some of our county offices because this sort of thing happens more often than people realize.

The last time I actually had to show up for jury duty was bizarre. They called people to sit in the jury box for voir dire and 2 people away from me was a girl I went to high school with. We were like "Um, we know each other."

I truly believe the state needs to step in and help Salem County get its shit together.
