Doing my Civic Duty
Posted by GruntDoc on 18th September 2006
Guess who got called for Jury Duty? Yes, I am thrilled to have been so honored.
I’m going, and I’m not going to ask for a release just because it could cost me money (it will). I served on a jury when an undergrad, and it was quite an experience. I’ve cleared most of the week on the off chance I get chosen, so I’m not cynical about my civic duty, but I’m not hoping to be chosen, either.
Frankly I figure no two sides of attorneys want me on a jury at the same time. We’ll see.
I was thinking about jury movies, and the one that best fits me is this one. Except, I’m not Henry Fonda, in body or spirit.
Update: It took all day. Not selected. I’m glad, as it was a case of alleged child molestation.
