FAQ
Failure to complete and return a jury questionnaire, providing false information on the questionnaire, or using vulgar or profane language in response to a jury questionnaire subjects a citizen to show cause proceeding for contempt of court.
The questionnaires are used to determine if you are qualified to serve as a juror. You must complete the form either by completing the online eJuror questionnaire or filling out the paper questionnaire, signing it and returning it in the envelope provided within ten (10) days.
For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- • tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).

Simply, if you delete, alter or make a false entry in the business records of an enterprise and you do so with the intent to defraud, you have run afoul of the misdemeanor crime. If when you do so, you also have the intent to further or conceal another criminal offense, then you have committed the felony crime.
If you are convicted of making a false statement, you could face up to five years in federal prison. This penalty could be extended to a maximum of eight years if your misstatement relates to any act of international or domestic terrorism.
Perjury and false statements, though similar, are distinct in the eyes of the law. Perjury strictly occurs in the context of sworn statements within legal proceedings. In contrast, false statements can occur in any interaction with the federal government, regardless of whether the person is under oath.
Prospective jurors are put under oath when they are questioned (subjected to a void dire examination), so any prospective juror who lies could be prosecuted for perjury (a five-year felony in federal court).
