Jury duty

[TennVol]

I was called for jury duty several years ago. The jury selection process took over two days & I was the last person who was excused. After seeing the room full of people who were there, I would be terrified to be on trial and have to trust my fate to a jury. You wouldn't believe the stories these people had and all the reasons they said they couldn't serve on that jury. I would not consider 80% of those people in that room to be my peers. If you have to be on trial and you have to trust your fate to a jury of your "peers", good luck to you (especially if you are innocent)!

Don't tell me you are one of those members who shun technology? Calendar reminder on your phone perhaps?

What is this technology you speak of...what the hell is a calendar?

I did that last time too. Got the summons and spaced it until that day. Remembered @ around noon and called clerk and told her i forgot to appear. Her response "well I guess we will be seeing you tomorrow then"

Nope, but they will make ever effort for you to serve your time. Then you're off the hook for a year. I'm a bit puzzled that they just didn't give you a new date a few weeks out.

They called back today and rescheduled for next Wednesday. No harm, no foul I guess.

I'm not sure why jury duty is looked on as a bad thing. I've served on a couple juries, and found both cases rather interesting.

Going today to Arapahoe County, even though I just moved to Elbert. Let's see how my day pans out
