BOOOO.<BR/><BR/>The last time I went (in 2001) I made enough money in 5-6 days of service to go see Coldplay - that was the upside. <BR/><BR/>The downside? The super creepy dudes that were on trail for attempted murder - I remember them staring at me while the judge questioned me and made ME feel on trial... I was dismissed, long story short and I went home and cried to my mama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545308910054472545.post-16871030556908882822008-04-09T12:19:00.000-07:002008-04-09T12:19:00.000-07:00Two days after reading this entry, I got my first ...Two days after reading this entry, I got my first summons for jury duty!luckylaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431398537662382000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545308910054472545.post-64641758116664860482008-04-07T18:57:00.000-07:002008-04-07T18:57:00.000-07:00Don't feel guilty...what you said was the truth an...Don't feel guilty...what you said was the truth and you already had your mind made up. That's why they're looking for neutral jurors.

It can be slow and boring, but it's also a very interesting experience. I once sat on a jury many years ago and was selected to be jury foreman despite being the youngest person on the jury by at least ten years. It was a very strange experience to sign my name to a document that put someone in jail.<BR/><BR/>However, he deserved to be in jail, so I had no problem with it.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908511462127963357noreply@blogger.com
