Well, I am back from jury duty, and I will try to catch up with everyone here. I don't promise to hit all the entries I missed. So if something special has happened or is going on, please let me know if I miss it.
I ended up with five out of ten days worth of jury duty. Two cases. One was the traffic stop with the person giving a false name and then fleeing the police, last week. The second one was an assult case. A woman was accused of smashing a glass into a man's face at a bar and slicing his face open. Both were found guilty of all their accounts.
In my opinion and a few other people on the jurys, both the prosecution and the defense didn't do really good jobs.
As I said last week, I was the lone vote for not guilty originally, but was able to change my mind and vote guilty. The second trial, I was on board with guilty to start with but there were three other guys that were having a really hard time voting guilty. Even after really working it over in their minds and deciding to vote guilty, you could see it in their faces that it bothered them. I felt the same way the week before.
When the judge was dismissing us from the second case, he told us he thought this would allow us to not serve again for 4 years. I don't know if it means we won't be called for 4 years or we don't have to serve if we don't want to. I am hoping it means we don't have to if we don't want to. I would like to do it again sometime and not wait for another 4 years. Of course it took me over 26 years this first time. LoL.........
So now I am back to work. Well, for one night and then I am off for the weekend. LOL........
I hope you have all had a great week.
