I’m back at work today. The case for which I was picked is probably wrapping up today. It turned out I was an alternate juror, so I was excused late yesterday just before the jury went into deliberation. Part of me was relieved, but part of me was also disappointed. I took a SHITLOAD of notes and frankly had quite a bit to say on the matter!
Oh well, I’ll post everything here (hopefully this weekend) and “give up the goodies,” so to speak.
What’d I miss? :)

I don’t get called for jury duty anymore. When I called the court
clerk and explained that I would vote not guilty no matter what,
I’ve never been contacted again. If I were wealthy it would be no
burden on me to serve on a jury but being self employed and being
on call 24/7 makes it impossible. Customers will call someone else if
I don’t show up. Besides, lawyers don’t want intelligent, skeptical,
logical folks who are not easily manipulated on a jury.

“Besides, lawyers don’t want intelligent, skeptical, logical folks who are not easily manipulated on a jury.”
LOL, apparently neither did the leading prosecutor for the case I was picked for! ;P

If you ever watched the TV series “Becker” staring Ted Danson, you
would have seen his character, an irascible physician, get called for
jury duty. Evey time he was called and answered questions from the
lawyers picking people for a jury, he was dismissed and sent back to
the waiting room. When they found out he was a doctor and was
highly educated the lawyers would say “Thank you, next”. It was a
funny episode. Becker spent the whole time in the waiting room.
