guilty...ut was a throw the frugs out the car window and flee
thing....


That sounds like a mighty interesting case. I didn't know
throwing frugs was illegal.

How do you get that? I would like to be picked for a jury.
I've been called twice and not selected either time, a total
waste of almost a week altogether. The 2nd time it was an
engineering contracting fraud case, and the defense wanted
me on the jury so bad I thought they were going to bribe the
judge. But the other lawyer was right, I was prejudiced
against his client... don't like crooks!

Most people I know, who were called, spent the day waiting around
and not 'used' on the jury. I have better ways to waste my time.

It's your civic responsibility as a citizen to ensure that others
receive a fair trial in front of their peers...I took jury duty very
seriously, found the experience very interesting, and was amazed at
how the thought processes of different people varies under different
circumstances...

Agreed on all counts.

One thing that struck me, it is amazing when you start
talking to people in detail, how wide the variation is
between what will seem "fair" to one person and the total
opposite is "fair" to another.

And another thing... when did you start attributing quotes??

I agree completely. It is our duty to serve. It may not be pleasant,
but it's required if we are to remain free.
