Jury Duty...

[dc67]

I agree that it is a civic duty. I got out of it once because although I was a resident of Ohio, I was in the middle of the Persion Gulf in the Marine Corps. The next time I was called I was able to go and it was quite an experience. I lived south of Atlanta at the time in a small town. The judge was retired but working part time because the courts were so crowded. Anyway, this guy came right out of an old movie. He was really funny, the way he talked to people. I ended up hearing one case that took a little over 2 days, got selected for a jury of a child molester that luckily plead out before trial and the other days, I showed up and was released for the day. I would recommend going to anyone if they can afford it. Although I think it is our civil duty, I understand we all have bills to pay. Just my 2 cents.
