Did Autumn2 receive a card, and if so, of what flavor? Did ladysoleil's audition happen? If not, have you rescheduled? --Bob

Just recalled that ladysoleil had jury duty this week, and wasn't sure she could make the audition. It's possible she's been impaneled, which would explain her absence from the Bored. IIRC, she had also scheduled for June 16th, same day as me, just in case.

Good memory, and thanks.

I ended up on the jury for what seemed like forever. Almost two full weeks. (ouch). Case ended in a mistrial to boot.

After that I was in Montreal for a week. So I'm back now and catching up.

A mistrial? Ouch, indeed!

Was a hung jury (don't you love the sound of that) or did the lawyers do something stupid?

I think it was a little from Column A and B. We had a problem when someone on the jury turned out to be nuttier than a fruitcake crazy, and then another problem when two jurors had some personal differences that they offered to "take outside" to settle. At that point the judge had put up with more than enough and sent the whole lot of us packing.

I don't think the lawyers can be blamed for two jurors hating each other on contact and wanting to bridge their differences via asskicking, but I do think they should have noticed the one juror was mostly listening to the voices in her head and not put her on the jury in the first place. She was obviously not all there.

Ah! The fine old, medieval tradition of trial by combat!

I think your jury was more interesting than the two I've been on, although we did have one fellow with his own cable-access talk show who would have debated us forever, if we hadn't needed only five of six votes to reach a verdict in a civil case.
