I received the jury summons several weeks ago. To my credit, upon reading the summons I didn’t stomp my feet or throw myself on the floor in a tantrum; although, I did grab my calendar to see if I was scheduled for anything that might be used to excuse me from serving. Not a flipping thing. Sigh.
So off I go this morning to do my civic duty in Gadsden County, Florida. Last time I served I ended up as the foreman on a hit and run case in Champaign, Illinois. I’m hoping to blend more quietly into the background this time; although, I did keep the panel from getting bogged down in the swamp of “what ifs.”
And I’m pretty sure I did a better job of delivering the jury’s decision than Yoda:
Peace, people!
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Good luck x

You’d be a great juror. And think of the stories that might result from a day or two in court….

True story: my wife was tossed from a jury panel a few years ago for being a professional psychic. She told the defense lawyer that she was “already seeing things.” She was thanked for her service and excused. 🙂 – Marty
