Jury Duty Report

Went in, sat through the boring orientation, went down to the dungeon to await whatever. The group was maybe only half the size of the first time I got called in 8 years ago. They came in almost right away and called 13 names to report to one courtroom, I was not among them. About an hour later, all of us who were left were told we were to report to the criminal court building several blocks away bright and early at 8:30 AM tomorrow, and from the sound of it, we weren't being sent there to just sit in a dungeon... so maybe I'll at least make it to selection this time....

And we were promptly dismissed for the day, so I won't lose out on my sleep today! (Which is nice since I worked my ass off last night) The bonus of going back tomorrow cinches my four day weekend, although I think my prospects of being freed before my normal weekend starts on Wednesday are looking dim at this point. We shall see.....

Just say "Not Guilty" and we'll be out of there in no time!

Or else... :twisted:

There are 6 left in the box! I'm sure they would taste better if I ever got to them before Big Boss Cat licked all the gravy off both servings. Mom just opened a new case of the 9 Lives sliced/shredded so there are 23 cans of that.

If they ever get another hamster I will share it with you!

(I've been spending more time out and about, so mom notices my toenails clicking on the tile more frequently. I should hide from her better!)

As expected, I finally made it into a courtroom today. We got introduced to the process by the judge, saw the principles in the trial (A certain Mr. Ford was being charged with armed robbery at knifepoint), and half of us got to make our opening voir dire introductions before the judge let us take a 10 minute break....

That 10 minute break turned into about 45 minutes, so we knew something was up. In comes the judge with our release papers. Mr. Ford, it turns out, decided to plead guilty to the crime in exchange for a lesser sentence. We were free to go, and no longer needed until such a time as I should be called upon again..... YAY!!!!

Potentially insenitive comment...
Methinks Mr. Ford, who bore some resemblance to a certain Mr. Snoop Dogg, freaked upon noticing that the ENTIRE pool that his jury was to be formed from was white, and decided to plea then and there. Jurors are often most effective in the criminal justice system before they are ever even selected to be on a jury.....

And now to enjoy what is left of my paid four day weekend thanks to the kind folks in the Madison County court system....

You obviously weren't sporting the "Free Weezy" tee that I sent you for just such an occasion as jury duty.....

Or did that damned mailbox thief strike again?

Give the guy the chair. But you can't deny that soda is bad for you in so many ways!!! :P :P :P

(Speaking of chairs, Mini-me keeps ending up with uniform #9. He wants single-digit odd numbers, but he's so tall now the lowest he can get in a large is #9...)
