Under "speedy trial" rulings only 90 days can elapse between arraignment and trial. HOWEVER - if the postponements have all been agreed to by the defense, or the court has ruled that the prosecutions reasons for postponement are valid, there is no governing statute.

i dont know but it is an obnoxes amount.
As often as you want, but I will tell you each time you do this opens you up for jury duty because they use the lists for jury duty .
12 or 6. More on a grand jury.
There are not many reasons that a person can be excused from jury duty. However, one reason to get out of jury duty is to have moved out of the district you were called to serve in.
Missing jury duty can result in a variety of consequences depending on the jurisdiction, but it is typically considered a form of contempt of court rather than a felony. Penalties can include fines, community service, or in some cases, a warrant being issued for your arrest. It's important to check the specific laws in your area regarding missing jury duty.
Taxes, jury duty, voting and many more!
Approximately 32 million people are summoned for jury duty in the US every year. However, the actual number who serve on juries is much lower due to exemptions, disqualifications, and other factors.
There is no reason they can't serve. Many attorneys don't want them on a jury.
Absolutely, even though soldiers are exempt from many duties the job of being a juror is a civic duty that is demanded by the constitution for all civilians.
Every state has its own laws regarding whether a felon can serve on jury duty. Of course, they cannot serve on jury duty if they are incarcerated, and in most states in serving probation or other supervision. However, in many states, felons may not serve on jury duty unless they have had their civil rights restored. The requirements are the same for civil cases as for criminal cases.
Are you asking about how many times a single jury might get sent back to the jury room for more deliberation after delivering a hung jury finding to the judge? It probably depends on the circumstances, but it could be several times. As far as subsequent re-trials of the same case also resulting in repeatedly hung juries, there seems to be no statutory limit how many times a case may be re-tried, but there surely can have been VERY few such instances.
As many times as they want
In Illinois, employers are not required to pay employees for time off to serve on jury duty. However, employers cannot penalize or retaliate against employees for participating in jury service. Employees may be eligible to receive a nominal jury duty payment from the court.
