Hundreds of southeastern Mississippi citizens received jury summons that incorrectly instructed them to call a sex hotline.
Multiple news outlets report that at least 350 jury summons with the incorrect phone number were sent out in Jackson County to potential jurors.
Circuit Clerk Randy Carney says people started calling the circuit clerk’s office Monday morning to report the problem. Others stopped by in person to address the issue.
Carney says he doesn’t know what caused the mix-up. He has drafted an apology letter that will go out those who received the erroneous summons. He says he doesn’t know if his office will be liable for costs associated with any potential jurors billed for using the hotline.
Carney added that he’ll personally review summons before they’re mailed out from now on.

If you want to get out of jury duty, just ask if they are using British Admiralty Maritime Law of the Sea / UCC Laws instead of the real Constitution and start talking about “jury nullification.” Also, if the summons was sent to you with the name on it all in caps like: JOHN Q. PUBLIC – it’s not the real you natural person they want, it’s you representing the corporate trust with a similar name that you have been fooled into believing is you like on a birth (berth) certificate, etc. So, if it comes to you and as any different than as example: John Quincy Public – just cross out the address etc. and mark it “return to sender, not at this address” and drop it in a mailbox.
The clerk’s office should be responsible for the phone charges. It isn’t fair for those receiving the jury notices to be stuck with the bill for a royal foulup by the clerk’s office.
