Jury Duty SUCKS...
I show up for jury duty yesterday and now I am in a jury pool of 30 people, and though they are goign to eliminate 18 of us, I fear I am going to be one of the remaing 12.  Not bad but it is a murder trial (can't say more due to court order) and I am looking at being there for up to 2 weeks or more.  I think were it not for having a new baby, it wouldn't be so bad, but geeze...

Wow, I have never been called to do jury duty and man how much it would suck for the one time to be a damn murder case. I suppose such is the rules of our democracy but that doesn't mean we can't raise our right to free speech in the same line. Good luck with the duty and I hope that your work has a compensation to make missing the 2 weeks of work.

Free speech in regards to what here?

Mostly I was referring to the fact that I would not want to do a murder case even though jury duty is a civic duty but I would express displeasure with it being a civic duty in an arena of free speech, namely, this journal.

Yea, no loss in wages, but I was dismissed today so I am happy since I get my days off with Khy. They didn't want me since I prefer the death penalty and this was a sentencing trial, the person had already been found guilty, but not my responsibility now.

Does ALM offer to pay up the difference in wages?

Wait. You're salaried, aren't you? Thats pretty cool, then.
