Awww your poor Mom. I will be thinking of her, and hoping she doesnt get chosen. I can imagine how difficult this is, and for sure very straining.

It sounds like a very hard / emotional case and I can understand why you don't want you Mom to be chosen. I hope it all works out and she wont have to attend.

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.

Thank you ladies. It was confirmed today that my mother does NOT have to serve on the jury!! I'm thrilled.

Diana, I'm sorry that your hubby had to do it before and that it was a hard situation for him. Maybe he won't be chosen this time around...

My husband was chosen as one of the jurors, but while they were all there they had the trial and it's all done. It was about a drunk guy with a motorcycle, and well, the story is too complicated to write it all out. They found him guilty of no insurance and, hmmmm, I forget, a couple of other things. They didn't find him guilty of drunk driving because he was pushing his motorcycle when it went out of control!!!

Yikes, that sounds interesting, Diana. The case my Mom went through selection for was for two guys who were drag racing and hit a teenage girl's car who was stopped at a red light. She died instantly, but they were going so fast that they pushed her car 40 feet down the road. She had just been crowned homecoming queen that night. It was a very sad thing to have happened and I'm SO glad my mother won't have to be on the jury. I just feel awful for her family though.
