Jury Duty

After all these years they finally got me. Yes, on Monday morning I was called. The 2nd name in the box. And I apparently answered all the questions properly and stayed for the trial.

The charges were something called Possessing Firearms, and Resisting, Obstructing arrest.

The testimony was the evidence.

I couldn't help but feel the way the charges were written, there really was no way a not guilty verdict could be found. It is unfortunate that the defendent had a horrible attorney who tried to distract us by presenting into evidence a document that stated he could not possess firearms at the last minute. It made no sense when throughout the testimony, there was no mention of a questionable document.

Oh well, it just goes to show you that if you get arrested. Be complacent, compliant and polite.
