Jury duty can be very trying. My husband was on once and it bothered him for some time and his was only for theft. He was upset because he felt that nobody told the truth.
It's funny that you posted this because today my husband had to go back in for jury duty again today. It's been years since he was on the last time. He called at noon and said that it's only going to be for a day. I can't figure out what's going to trial in our small town.
Hopefully your Mom won't have to be involved. Tell her that we're thinking of her.
