Meh, got there at 8am, by 10:30 we still hadn't been called, finally around 11, 60 of us get called to a murder trial. By about 1:30 or so we were finally done with all the whiners trying to get out of it for one stupid reason or another we broke for lunch, came back and they started asking us questions as we passed a ******* microphone around.



Out of the 60 they picked 6 people, I think it was my statement that I "have a general distrust in law enforcement" that got me booted, but I dunno. Finally got released at 4pm

I also mad dogged the prosecuter and I stared at the defense, the dude had 4 lawyers.

that's it there were 3 trials and the other two had been picked by the time i was done with the one so we were released.



I did have a nice lunch at the marina and a couple of beers. that was the highlight of my day

showing up drunk for jury duty is a good way to get out of it also
