Chicago Family Dental: Well, that’s one way to get out of it. I’m afraid someone would come to my door and challenge me.

Never been to jury duty, but whenever my parents get notices for jury duty, they just say they don’t understand english.

Elle: Wow, you had it good. My donuts do sound pretty crappy compared to cardamom tea cakes. And being on a grand jury DOES sound interesting. Nothing like having people’s fate in your hands.

The grand jury decides who goes to trial -- so I heard a lot of different cases, saw very few witnesses, a lot of it was the DA coming and saying, here is the case, this is the evidence we have, this is who is involved, and we had to decide whether it went on to court or not. It was very interesting, and I got to know the other eleven people quite well during the time. AND the DA usaed to buy us these wonderful cardamom tea cakes from a bakery in town. No ordinary doughnuts for the Grand Jury. Dern, now I want one... Elle's last blog post..Follow the Trail of Soggy Crumpled Kleenex

John: I wish my phone had a real camera. I can only send pix to other phones or you BET I would’ve been snapping away. I’m sure no one believes that one of the jurors was a dead ringer for Red Buttons.

So far I haven’t had the chance of being called myself. Course if I did I’d have to smuggle in my cell phone for picture taking and blog about it. Glad you got through without too much problem with the coughing.

It was actually a two-day trial, I believe. Pimp killed one of his "girls." Up the street from where I was living! His character witnesses (I use the term loosely) were all criminals themselves. Afterwards, the judge thanked us for convicting him, because this had been the second woman he'd killed! Kelly's last blog post..Emerald Isle

Florida Girl in Sydney: Oh, thank you! That makes me feel so good. To make people laugh—it’s all I’ve EVER WANTED!

Margaret: Thank you so much. And, yes. I’m afraid everyone who’s posted here about never having had to serve will be struck down and all simultaneously receive a summons in the mail. I hope not! May your luck continue . . .

flit: It must be Canadian. Eh. I’ve never heard of that happening here, but it’s MORE than fair. Poo!

re: the milage thing…. everyone that is more than 40 km got paid extra for milage… we are 42 km from the city. He got more for doing nothing for less than an hour than he was making all day at our store at the time.

Perhaps it’s a Canadian thing, eh?
