Jury Duty

[DianaB]

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!!!

Angie glad to hear that she didn't get selected. I was called to serve grand jury this past March but luckly they didn't pick me.. <whew>

I'm glad she doesn't have to go through with the jury duty. I've heard it can be a very trying experience. Our town is small and I've never been called ever, my husband has been called, but never had to serve. I don't understand in all these years, where they got all the people to serve in this small town. It really doesn't matter I guess, neither of us really want to anyway.

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.

Oh, how awful. Her family has to really be suffering. It would be a really hard jury to be on and very emotional. I'm glad that your Mom doesn't have to hear all of the details about it.

Yeah, I am very relieved. My mother has such a sweet and caring heart and I just didn't want her to have to go through that. Being the mother of five, I know it would've really upset her...
