Quote:
A 24-year-old college student was ordered to spend the weekend in jail after skipping out on jury duty.
Ilya Kluzner, a student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, must also write a five-page essay on the historical perspective of the American dream and why jury duty is crucial, under the sentence imposed by Oakland County Circuit Judge Fred Mester.
Mester found Kluzner in criminal contempt Thursday after he missed the second day of a two-day drug possession trial.
"He just felt like he was skipping class," Assistant Oakland County Prosecutor Jeffrey Kaelin said.
