Screaming Bean
Monday, June 28, 2004

Today was jury day. It was eye opening to say the least. I can now understand why normal people get so pissed off about being called to serve. It's a royal pain in the ass. No parking. Metal detectors. The possibility of ruining a holiday weekend. Hurry up and wait...hurry up and wait. I had to fill out a civil jury questionnaire only to be put into the pool for criminal trials. It's amazing how the mob mentality works. One person raises a question about their impartiality and the next thing you know two or three more people jump on the bandwagon. Whether it's trying to get out of service or truly believing what they say, it was annoying because the judge had stated early on what standards would need to be followed. Everyone had agreed that they'd follow along with his fundamentals. When the defense attorney brings up the same fundamentals (i.e. not favoring one type of witness over another), people openly question what it is the attorney is trying to do. Call it semantics, call it selective hearing...it's a dismissal all the same. No, I didn't question anything. No, I didn't get selected. It's not over yet though. I'm on the hook until at least Wednesday.
