I was in a jury pool 3 months ago. The question was " who has been in the service in the last 20 years" asked by the county. Several of us raised our hands. And were dismissed. I dont know why that would make a difference.

Court was 2 hours today...Home by 4:00 PM, loading .45 ACP now. Saw an old neighbor's kid there, nasty divorce he said. I doubt he's even 21. Not surprised, breed 'em young, no guidance beyond a derelict mom and dad and they follow suit. I wonder how many more kid's us taxpayer's have to support now. Well, At least they are US citizens.

Usrifle, I may have missed something, but have you actually been made part of the jury at this point? Or are you still in the selection phase?

Today was the 3rd day of the trial, but it's been 2 weeks so far since selection and commencement of proceedings. 1st week...3 day's of jury selection, then 1 day of trial. (No court on Friday's for whatever reason.) 2nd week...1 trial day. 3rd week...Trial is scheduled through Wednesday. If not concluded with deliberation starting by then, no court until Tuesday next week. Quite the drawn out process, but interesting nonetheless. ...and it's always a freak show down there.

Well, I know you can't say anything during trial, but can we expect a play-by-play when it's over? Assuming it's a case worth of our attention

I don't know about a "play by play", but certainly a brief rundown. Back to court in the AM, two full day's of trial left this week.

Fucking game playing between the prosecution and defense is exasperating... Cops on the stand aren't any better. If they don't want to answer they start paraphrasing and dancing around. Answer the fucking question, damnit! ...and it continues.

Trial concluded today...Closing arguments, etc. We start deliberation tomorrow, this may prove to be very interesting. I don't see it going past one day unless we all aren't on the same page, who knows though? We have not discussed it at all amongst the jury yet, should be a fun filled day.

I question the validity of using a juror when english is their 2nd language. Interpretation and the ability to grasp the fact that "feelings"and filling in blanks with interpretations is not allowed.
