Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey serves jury duty despite NFL commitments

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey served jury duty on a domestic violence case, which lasted a week and resulted in a 65-year prison sentence for the defendant. He initially believed his NFL status would exempt him from this obligation. Aubrey had postponed his jury summons once but was not allowed to do so again. Despite thinking he had a valid conflict due to team commitments, the judge ruled he had no conflicts since court was not in session over the weekend. During the week, Aubrey struggled to fit in his kicking practice, often working in the dark after jury duty. He reflected on the experience, comparing it to his previous schedule as a software engineer, where he juggled work and training.
