"Rather than getting bogged down with all these candy bars and snacks, they get a cookie, but they frost it...
A Hill County courthouse official says jury dodgers have progressively increased in the last few years. The trend of people not responding to jury duty summonses, as far as she's seen, started around 2014 and has "continuously gotten worse," Hill County District Clerk of Court Kathie Vigliotti said.
