One where a guy was up for 1st degree murder, he supposedly ran a red light and an elderly lady was killed. He got manslaughter. Another was a guy who was stopped by the police, he was eventually found "not guilty" of charges. The last one had to do with a lady suing someone, she ran a red light and wanted to sue the person that she hit. All the cases were really interesting. Another time I was called to serve, got on some cases but was striked from duty. I actually enjoyed them and had some great reading time. I have served on several jury duties.

Yep, probably not who they wanted sitting the jury. Ha, I just read through my summons all the way. They've instructed me not to wear my shorts and/or tank top to court. :p LOL at being overlooked for the rape trial when you were 7 mos. preggers. Yep, probably not who they wanted sitting the jury.

I was actually quite excited about it. Well, the year came and went, and nada. It was probably for the best, anyway. :) Years ago I got the official letter saying that “at any time during the next year you may be contacted for jury duty”… I was actually quite excited about it.

Hopefully, you will get a good case and have the opportunity to see our judicial system at work, first hand. I was excused twice - once for being 7 mos. pregnant for a rape trial... well they didn't actually SAY that was why I was struck from the jury pool... So I never got to actually serve. And no comment on the over-televised, media-hyped OJ trial.

OJ's guilt or innocence definitely isn't worth losing a friend over. :o I've never been called to jury duty. You'll have to let us know what it's like. Eek.

I’ve never been called to jury duty. You’ll have to let us know what it’s like.
