So, about a year ago, I moved from "old apartment" to "new apartment", making sure to file a change of address form with the post office.
Way back in September/October, I received a jury summons at my new address, and returned it requesting a postponment until December. December comes and goes, I get nothing, and figure they didn't need me. Round about February, I receive a letter addressed to my old address but forwarded to my new address. This letter informs me that I am to report for jury duty in late December, 2003.
The .gov, of course, just thinks I skipped out on jury duty. I still have the forwarded letter, and can prove (using the postmarks) that I didn't receive it until long after the requested date. But at this point, I have two questions. One, what exactly happens when you miss jury duty? Is there a warrant issued? Second, how can I get this cleared up?
