True or False: A defendant must pay a $5 fee for each juror summoned by a peace officer.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Depends on jurisdiction

Answer: (B)

This item is about who bears jury-related costs when jurors are summoned. Jurors are compensated by the court, and the costs associated with summoning jurors—such as per diem pay, travel reimbursement, and administrative expenses—are funded by the government, not charged to the defendant for each juror summoned by a peace officer. A peace officer may serve the summons or assist with the process, but that role does not create a bill for the defendant for every juror called. In short, there isn’t a standard requirement that a defendant pay a $5 fee per juror; the usual arrangement is that juror costs are handled by the court or state.
