I won't trouble you with my stories with jury duty, one of which encompassed a potential trial for murder which I got out of by saying i was against capital punishment (the attorneys gave me the 'bad eye' for that), but for what the lawyers were able to actually hide from the jury who were supposed to decide the cases.<br />Well, I think you were able to survie your civic duty as they say and I'm proud of you!<br /><br />Jim of Olym, on the other side of the planet..Auriel Ragmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395216240172741261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-11037370256004674772013-04-13T22:14:48.388+01:002013-04-13T22:14:48.388+01:00Jury duty can be a fascinating experience, and a p...Jury duty can be a fascinating experience, and a pain in the @$$. I have successfully avoided it with one exception. My one time on jury duty was a three week First Degree Murder trial. He was obviously guilty and we said as much in our verdicts. It was not a capital case thank God. I live in a state that still occasionally executes murderers. But while it was very inconvenient it was quite illuminating in other respects. And of course it was also disturbing given the nature of the crime.John (Ad Orientem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14329907942477160166noreply@blogger.com
