Postponement of Jury Service If you are not available on the date scheduled, you may postpone the date of your initial appearance for jury service two times only. To request a postponement, follow the instructions in the Juror Affidavit Questionnaire or Summons or contact the court in which you are scheduled to appear.
The court will send you a second jury duty request if you missed your first appearance. If you miss a jury date, serious consequences can take effect. You could be held in contempt of court and required to attend jury duty on a different date. You can also be fined $500 for missing a jury appearance.
Arizona law (A.R.S. 21-336) does not allow a second postponement unless it is an extreme emergency that was not anticipated when the first postponement was granted. Any documentation mailed or faxed to the Jury Office must include the juror's name and juror identification number.
Before the jury can convict you, this “jury of your peers” must unanimously agree that you are guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” This is sometimes also called a moral certainty.

It is possible to be called again; however, Arizona law provides that you need not serve more often than once every two years. If you appear for jury selection and are selected to serve, you are exempt from serving again for two years.
Acquittal: Judgment that a criminal defendant has not been proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In other words, a verdict of "not guilty."
Not Guilty Plea The defendant is informing the court that he or she denies guilt or has a defense in the case and that the state must prove what it has charged in the complaint. If you choose to plea "Not Guilty", you have a right to a jury trial, unless you waive that right and request a trial by judge.
