I would hope you would be aware not all states have the same rules.
From the New York Times:
Juror 1, who will be the foreman, works in sales and lives in West Harlem. He said that he enjoyed outdoor activities. He said he got his news from The New York Times and watched Fox News and MSNBC. He said he had heard about some of Donald J. Trump's other criminal cases, but he did not have an opinion about him
It looks like all states now do not allow people to be excused for self employment. I never showed up twice In California when they stopped allowing my excuse. At the time I had 6 employees and I had to be there as I was the programmer/job bidder and did all the complicated set ups. No way in hell would I shut down and not pay them or shut down and pay them. I wasn't going to risk disaster caused by my absence. There was one judge who said he would issue warrants and have people brought before him. I could be on a warrant in CA where they will not come and get you but you will get hauled in if you commit a traffic violation.
I doubt I will ever set foot in that state again and if I do I will fly in to help a friend move or escape from California like I and many friends and family did.
I will either have my friend drive me around or take Uber or a taxi.
