Hope that its a bunch of small trials and not something that goes for 6 months.ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109431499306884717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-8007196376392201352008-08-14T19:19:00.000+10:002008-08-14T19:19:00.000+10:00I have done jury duty.

The rest of the members of the jury were all total losers and they insisted on smoking in the little jury room in the bowels of the court building because they were the vocal majority. This was in 1995 when smoking had been banned in public buildings. I was so pissed off!!! The case was a very boring, very clear heroin possesion/supply one. Anyone with half a brain manages to avoid doing Jury Duty, it would seem.Mummy/Crithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353892248492164501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-42749211732697460922008-08-14T18:16:00.000+10:002008-08-14T18:16:00.000+10:00I think I've now been called for Jury Duty three t...I think I've now been called for Jury Duty three times - twice when I'd just left the region, so I didn't have to go, and once when Charlie was a baby and I couldn't go (I promised I'd be available the next year even though I knew I'd be gone then too). I guess next time I'll just have to do it out of guilt. Hubby once waited around a whole day before finally crabbily asking if he was needed, and the court officer said 'oh are you still here?' Only a supreme effort of will stopped him from appearing in court after that one.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634135486127575735noreply@blogger.com
