Fry 'em...finally got summoned to serve as a juror!!!!! i am so excited
that is all.............
It's an experience, that's for sure. Is this the initial summons or have you been chosen to sit?
Been called twice, served once. Pedophile case. Not nearly as unpalatable as I thought it would be, but the smug countenance of the defendant was turning my stomach. Ironically, I thought the state did a poor job of proving one of the key requirements necessary to return a guilty plea. In fact, they didn't "prove" it at all. Simply operated on the assumption that because B followed A, A's purpose was necessarily and solely to achieve B. In reality, I know it probably was. But legally, they didn't prove it at all. Kinda made me mad that they were so cavalier with that little detail.
The other one I didn't get to sit for was a firearms charge, murder, and attempted murder. That one would have been interesting from all sorts of angles.
