Some people try to dodge jury duty. Others are proud to serve. There's a D.C. couple who actually met serving on a jury and now they're married! You can see their story on Fox5 News at 5pm. What do you think? How important is jury duty? Have you served? Have you ever tried to get out of serving on a jury? If so, why?

Beth,do you remember a brand of beer called Red Dog?Remember how each bottle cap had a goofy quote or a picture inside of it?Well,when I sent in my jury duty registration form I taped a Red Dog bottle cap that read "No Judgements" to it right on the special comments section.So far I've never been called and somehow I get the feeling I never will be.

I've been called. I've gone. And I've never been picked to serve on a jury.

I've been called and went, but didn't get picked to be on a jury, and yes I had it reduced from 5 day call in to one day serve because of my work schedule....

At age 9 I decided I wanted to be a reporter and here I am. I've been at Fox5 for 8 years. Covering all kinds of news - investigations, features, you name it. I've had the privilege of meeting a lot of fascinating people. Many have been kind enough to share their stories with me. In the news business, every day is a new adventure!
