Only to find out when I called in the night before that the trial was canceled.

But then I had to show up the next day to turn in my jury summons in person. The Commissioner thanked me in person.

I got my very first speeding ticket in another county and had to drive in a snowstorm to show up and pay my fine.

Who have been punished for not showing up for their court dates need to band together and file a class-action lawsuit for the violation of their 14th Amendment rights to equal protection under the law.

It's discriminatory treatment to let these horrible people walk just because they're rich, powerful and r, while throwing the book at everyone else.
