I did not get picked, but it wasn't surprising considering what the cases had to deal with (child abuse, and gangs). <BR/><BR/>Luckily our county picks all jurries needed that week on Monday. So when you go home Monday you know if you need to come back. Luckily they can't call me again for a year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-69637804630898108982007-05-07T11:54:00.000-04:002007-05-07T11:54:00.000-04:00Good luck with the jury duty.

I went in knowing I would have to sit and brought my checkbook to balance, a book and magazine to read. <BR/> I didn't get picked for a jury and was actually kind of bummed.<BR/> BTW, the recipe looks great and I'm adding to my recipe line-up for one day next week.

If you have to go in, take something to read to kill the time. They are expert at wasting yours, so make the most of it. Without fail, I get summoned every single year, and as a former court reporter, I always am excused. I guess I know too much of what's going on in the courtroom. Good luck this week.Harry and Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671773857309905951noreply@blogger.com
