Stacy 0 #1 February 13, 2004 I just got subpoena-ed for a court case in Philly in 12 days. Never heard of the guy being tried. Nor have I lived in teh Philly region for two years. No one at teh court seems to be interested in answering the phone either. I'd prefer not to be arrested, but I'm also not going when I believe they have the wrong person. Anyone got any ideas??

Galen 0 #3 February 13, 2004 Is it Federal court? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #4 February 13, 2004 no one is listed. this is the vaguest piece of paper i've ever seen. It's not federal court. it's the criminal division or Philly municipal. perhaps i'll just sign the tear off on teh bottom with "sorry, can't make it, but sure, guilty! he did it!" Now I remember what i hated about philly. everything is such a process. ugh. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #7 February 13, 2004 I just received a letter for jury duty in Sarasota, but it had a check list on the back of it for reasons to get out of it....besides choices like 'I am a convicted felon' and 'I have been adjudicated incompetent', there was a choice for "I do not live in Sarasota County' At least my office will pay full salary for my 'day in court'..I can't use any of the excuses... marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #8 February 13, 2004 A couple of points: First - it's typically not advisable to ignore subpoenas. Second - do you live in Philly? If you live far away, you may have good reason to nto go. Recommendation? Call whomever issued the subpoena. There should be contact information on the subpoena. You also may be able to object to it if you aren't in Philly. Why should you have to pay travel and such?? Let the party that issued the document pay those expenses. My wife is hotter than your wife.

Stacy 0 #10 February 14, 2004 Yeah, so I got intouch with the DA at about 7 PM. He verified that I had NEVER lived on xxxxx street, that i didn't know mrs pringle (although I did mention I knew of her potato chips!), and that they had most certainly found the wrong stacy. yay! although they were going to pay me $5 a day!
