So are potential jurors.
Nearly 40 people who failed to show up for jury duty have been grilled by Judge Claude Appel (Huerfano County District Court).
They received contempt citations after a lack of jurors kept the court from holding some trials over the last couple of months.
Some of the no-shows said they were sick.
Others blamed the snow.
And some simply forgot.
But the no-show jurors got off easy.
No one was cited for contempt of court.
And each was asked to sign up for future jury duty.
