Well darn. I did my civic duty but they didn’t want me. I headed to the courthouse this morning to see if I would be selected for jury duty. I showed up right on time and almost didn’t have a chair to sit in. Last time I was early and had to wait and wait until anything happened. Soon after I arrived, we were ushered into the courtroom. I was number 30 of potential jurors and they selected six before they had to interview me. It was interesting to watch. The people that I thought for sure would be relieved were the ones chosen to sit on the jury. It goes to show me that I have no idea what they are looking for in the way of an impartial jury.

This trial is about a man suing for pain and suffering from injuries he received in an automobile accident 3 years ago. I would have liked to have stayed to listen to the details. I wonder if it took this long for the case to come to court or if he just decided to sue 3 years later.

So many people acted like they hated being there. I didn’t feel that way at all. I find the whole thing very interesting.
