Wow.. this is the first image from my porch with a bird! Thanks to the avian community for supporting art!

The threat to fine me $1,500.00 for failure to respond to a jury summons came from Darrel Mahood, Director Jury Services Division. Here's his email address: dmahood@lasuperiorcourt.org
The following link was written by a very educated person and goes on for a while. I have not vetted the citations in this long post, but the reasoning works for me. The last line in this post references the 13th Amendment. It is very clear:
"13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery (1865) Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
"13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery (1865) Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Had I not been in a situation where the police had actually attempted to frame me and had I not been mistreated by the court system in the past, my attitude might be a little more cooperative.
I have written to Darrel Mahood asking to be excused from jury service. I'll expand on my experience as the drama unfolds.
