The other jurors wanted to let her slide with a lesser charge because she was tiny and cute. I said that didn't have anything to do with it. Just call me Captain America.<br /><br />Also, I laughed out loud at the boring name like Bill or Bob. My dad's name is Bill. My mom's also named Jane. Yep, Bill and Jane.

Quite honestly, I hope I never get called. I am way too emotional and make my decisions based on how I feel. It makes me great in my job working in palliative care but I would make a terrible juror. Probably they would see that and dismiss me anyway.

He finally ran out of people to call and turned toward me with a grin. I think he wanted to talk to ME about it! I gave him a death look and went back to my book, thinking "I'm on her side." :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-84006491301789320112012-12-02T12:01:12.136-08:002012-12-02T12:01:12.136-08:00DW: You'd write about it in a very amusing way...DW: You'd write about it in a very amusing way, though!Riot Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725825736285347870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-44495600847012446272012-12-02T01:20:43.575-08:002012-12-02T01:20:43.575-08:00Never have and honestly, I hope I never do.Never have and honestly, I hope I never do.DWeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052727489537771147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-56232131138738962242012-12-01T20:13:48.152-08:002012-12-01T20:13:48.152-08:00OLOTH: It took me a day or two to come up with it,...OLOTH: It took me a day or two to come up with it, but I knew he looked like a cross between two familiar characters!<br />D: You'd think they'd take note of that ahead of time, wouldn't you?<br />Joey: I was excused because I was honest and didn't feel like I could be objective about the case.
