OH man, I have to report for jury duty in the morning. I am not a morning person! I am going to have to get up at 6am and be to the courthouse at 8:10am, yuck. It is about 25-30 min downtown, if I can miss traffic, longer if I take the northern route that lets me avoid the bad Portland bound traffic! Jeez
Will let you know how it goes. I am an opinionated girl, pro gun, pro choice and throw the book at drunk drivers and child molesters and rapists, should be interesting! Or a long boring day! I am taking a book!

Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI had jury duty almost 2 years ago for my first time. Every one told me "oh, don't worry, you won't get picked!", guess what? I was picked to sit on the jury! One whole week! It was actually quite interesting, but very long days. The case was about a guy that out ran the cops in a stolen car, crashed the car, then said he was never driving the car. The jury was 11-1 to convict. We had one guy on the jury that would not budge and would not follow the rules on how you come to the decision. The thief ended up walking and was going to be retried. Very frustrating!!
Jury duty is so important - hope you have an interesting time.
ReplyDeleteHope jury duty is going well for you! I've been called three times -- the first two times I wasn't picked, and the third time I was selected to serve on a jury for a 2-week-long case. I actually really liked jury duty -- I felt I was doing something good and important (it was a child molestation case). I hope your day goes well!
ReplyDeleteWell I didnt get picked for the Jury. This one was only a 6 person jury. They had about 24 of us standing by, 12 on the original jury pool and 12 of us in the exrta pool. They pay you $10 a day and milage, so I will get like $25, for going in. It would have been an interesting case, the City vs a young man, on unlawful carry of a weapon.
ReplyDeleteJury Duty sounds so stressful. I think I would have a hard time either convicting or not convicting...scary! I wish you the best of luck, I hope it goes smoothly and quickly for you!
ReplyDeleteWow. Curious how jury duty went! Thanks for your sweet commment about Missy. Love to you and yours that you have lost this year.
