Some Osceola County residents received “late-arriving” summons for jury duty—some of which were a few days out from when they’re scheduled to serve, according to the Ninth Circuit District Court.
Evelyn Cruz’s mother, who is in her 70s, received a notice for jury duty on Friday for service on Monday.
Courtney Flores also said she got her notice Friday.
The court released a statement acknowledging the late-arriving summons and had staffers working all weekend to answer questions for those who received a summons.
“Due to circumstances beyond the Court’s control, you may have received a late-arriving summons,” the court said on its website.
Channel 9 called the Osceola County courthouse. Officials said the staff who prints the jury summons and the vendor they work with encountered a network glitch with the printer.
The courts also said staff was at the courthouse over the weekend to help reschedule many residents’ reporting date.
"Not pleased. I have two homeschool kids at home and my husband had to stay home and school the kids while he's trying to work," resident Randee Workowski said.
The court said jurors can request a one-time automatic postponement online at https://juryosceola.ninthcircuit.org/login
Officials said no one will get penalized.
