So she'll be sitting there doing nothing day after to day, when they meet (fed juries meet irregularly). If she is a no show, she'll have US Marshalls looking for her. The Feds don't play around. As I said, she must have said some really crazy stuff.

Either she's self-employed and makes passive income or her job has agreed to pay her "indefinite" work pay for all the job time she will miss, because otherwise this could seriously fuck her life up. $5 a day to have to commit showing up at court in the morning and being there all day every day INDEFINITELY is fucking ridiculous. The fact that you can get out of jury duty if your work won't pay a certain amount of time that cases are expected to be (I think it was 2 weeks when I had gotten out of it) makes me wonder if this punishment should stand. Whatever the judge had up his ass that day, he's a bad judge if they let it get into the courtroom.
