§ 18-39. Excusal of summoned jurors.

Latest version.

Any person summoned to serve as a juror in the circuit or criminal courts may present to the judge of the court in which he is summoned an excuse and such judge may thereupon excuse or not excuse such persons from service, according to the sound judgement and discretion of such judge. In the event such person shall be excused, his numbered slip may be replaced in the jury box, and this shall be done in the case of all persons eligible to jury service excused for any reason which in the sound judgment of the court only temporarily exempts such person from jury service, or such person may be placed on the venire for any subsequent term within one year. If in the discretion of the judge the person should be permanently excused, his slip shall be retired and his name stricken from the jury list with proper notation as to cause.
