§ 1-11-125 — Procedure when sufficient number of jurors fail to attend

If a sufficient number of jurors duly selected and notified do
not attend to form a jury the court shall direct the clerk to
select a sufficient number of names from the base jury list to
complete the jury and shall summon the persons selected to
attend immediately or at a time fixed by the court. If for any
reason a sufficient number of jurors to try the issue is not
obtained from the persons notified, the court may make
successive orders until a sufficient number is obtained. The
court may excuse any juror so selected if it appears that,
because of distance, the delay occasioned by summoning the juror
and requiring his presence would unduly prolong empaneling the
trial jury. Each person so notified, unless excused by the
court, shall serve as a juror at the trial. For a neglect or
refusal to serve he may be fined in the same manner as a trial
juror regularly selected and notified and he is subject to the
same exceptions and challenges as any other trial juror.
