For the back story I will quickly recap:
1) Ferris got a ticket for having a beer.
2) His wise and sage parents advised the lad to pay his fine and move on.
3) The Department of Motor Vehicles didn’t want to miss out on the fun so they suspended his license making his infraction a conviction.
4) Said wise and sage parents lawyer-ed up.
5) My law abiding wife took Ferris to his first court appearance, clear across the state (no snickering about state size from you Texans) where he was told to do some community service to wipe his slate clean.
6) Ferris performs community service for old, poor people and receives a glowing letter of recommendation from the supervisor.
7) My patient wife drives Ferris back to court clear across the state where he presents his community service paper work.
8) His case is now marked Nolle – yay.
9) To actually receive his license back however, some paperwork needs to be filed BY MAIL to the Department of Motor Vehicles, with of course another fee. They will in turn send back a paper that reinstates Ferris’ license. We are hoping that will happen this week.
That afternoon, after a long drive, a day in court and running paperwork around my tired wife went out to get the mail.
And what do you suppose she found there.
Ferris’ first letter to report for jury duty.

Shaking my head. Oy!
I wish bureaucracies actually functioned. They're a good idea. Chance of his actually getting on a jury=close to zero.
Would you please get that boy's karma cleansed?!
yeah, no chance in hell he'll be on a case, but he'll have a fun day reading in that big room waiting!! ;)
Nolle....check in a year to make sure that his record has actually been expunged! **from someone who was arrested in 1976, was supposedly completely erased yet showed up in the FBI files when I was adopting in 2004**
Beautiful irony.
I get hit like clockwork every year.
No way he'll serve. Maybe he should buy a lottery ticket.
Two things told to me while I was waiting to be picked or dismissed for Jury Duty:
"See this is why you never want to get arrested. 'Cause you'll end up being judged by 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty."
"When it comes your turn in voi dire to answer the lawyer's questions, just say "well, they arrested him so he must have done something, right?""
