Juror #6

Last spring I had been summoned for jury duty about a month before RAAM. I had more than enough to do trying to get ready for RAAM to want to risk getting put on a long trial so I postponed it until July. The juror number they sent me then was 2352. When I called in to see if I needed to go in, they said they wanted numbers 1001-1400. A couple weeks went by and they sent me a nasty gram saying I hadn’t appeared when I was supposed and if I didn’t call and schedule another time I’d been big trouble.

Rather than fight with them over whether I was supposed to have appeared or not I scheduled it for yesterday. I went in yesterday and got put on the first case they called jurors up for. The trial is expected to go into at least the middle of next week. They are on the 5th witness and it seemed like they read off a list of 25-30 witnesses during jury selection. I’m not sure how I’m going to endure it for another week. We are supposed to keep an open mind until the end but I certainly have an opinion already. The more I heard this afternoon, the more I was thinking why don’t we just make a decision and get it over with. Ok, I’ll listen to the rest and see if it something will change my mind.
