What happens if I have been summoned for jury duty but I decide not to report for service?

Failing to report for jury duty could cause you to be charged with Contempt of Court.  If this happens, you will be required to show up to court to show cause to purge the contempt of court. Under no circumstances will you be requested to send money via a pre-paid card.
