"John McCain is no stranger to civil service. As his Twitter followers learned Monday, however, being a war hero and longtime member of Congress doesn't exempt McCain from jury duty.\n\nReporting for #juryduty this morning at the Maricopa County Superior Court in #Phoenix - let's see if I'm picked!\n\u2014 John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) August 12, 2013\n\nSee also: Juror Jailed For Friending Defendant on Facebook [VIDEO]\n\"Doing my civic duty for a change,\" McCain told AZCentral.com as he made his way into the courthouse. \"We're off to get those criminals.\"\nAbout four hours after that tweet, McCain updated his status: \n\nJust got selected for a panel - let's see what happens next #juryduty\n\u2014 John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) August 12, 2013\n\nMcCain, who has served as a member of Congress \u2014 first the House, then Senate \u2014 for more than three decades, said he was called \"several times\" in the past, but had never been picked to serve on a jury. \"But you never know,\" he told AZCentral.\nIt wasn't long, however, before we found out that Monday probably wouldn't be McCain's lucky day:\n\nNot selected for this jury trial, but may need to report back this afternoon #juryduty\n\u2014 John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) August 12, 2013\n\n\nGot word I'm done with #juryduty today - I appreciate the Court staff's dedicated work &amp; all #Arizonans who serve on our juries\n\u2014 John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) August 12, 2013\n\nCould McCain have actually been selected to serve? Judy Stinson, associate dean at the Sandra Day O\u2019Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, said, in theory, yes.\n\"It's possible,\" Stinson told Mashable. \"It would be surprising.\"\nStinson said even though McCain could be deciding the fate of one of his constituents, it wouldn't necessarily be considered a conflict of interest. She added that it would be \"very difficult\" for the other jurors not to give him \"undue weight\" when coming to a decision.\nFor McCain to be selected, the judge would have to be convinced that his presence would not bias the other jurors' opinions.  \nComposite image: Flickr, Medill DC, Twitter\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
