DeAndre Somerville, a 21-year-old Black man with no prior criminal record, was sentenced to 10 days in jail, 6 months probation, and a $250 fine for missing jury duty after oversleeping. The case sparked national outrage over harsh punishments for minor infractions and the disproportionate impact on young Black men. The judge later vacated the conviction, reducing probation and offering to clear his record if he completed community service and spoke to other jurors, turning his mistake into a lesson on civic duty.
