On a typical day, 300 potential jurors are called to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court (CT trial level court). About 220 will actually get called down to courtrooms to interviewed for juries. At 2PM those who have not been sent to courtrooms for questioning are dismissed and sent home. They can’t be called again for 3 years.
I( have been called for state jury service 4 times in the past 13 years. I was excused twice, one time I was sent home as there were far more jurors available than needed to staff scheduled trials. The 4th time I was selected for a jury sitting in a criminal case. After the state put on its case the defendant changed his plea to guilty and cut a deal.
