Exemption from service. In a county whose population is 400,000 or more, a person who lives 65 miles or more from the justice’s court is exempt from serving as a trial juror. Whenever it appears to the satisfaction of the justice’s court, by affidavit or otherwise, that a juror lives 65 miles or more from the justice’s court, the justice’s court shall order the juror excused from all service as a trial juror, if the juror so desires.
