So far, nearly half of addresses bad in jury duty roundup

Tracking down jury duty no-shows in Fulton County's ongoing crackdown, sheriff's deputies have found nearly half of the addresses where summonses were sent to be bad. Since Friday, deputies have served 44 orders compelling scofflaws to appear before a judge next month, but in 43 other cases they found would-be jurors had left their former residences, according to sheriff's office statistics.

Some 8.700 residents remain in Fulton's bull's-eye, having failed to respond to summonses, follow-up letters, warning letters and the judges' "amnesty month" offer in May.
