Jury Duty

So, I had the "opportunity" I guess to attend Jury Duty, and it was actually kind of an interesting process...I don't know if anyone else has ever actually been called to show up, but I got lucky and got to go right here in Gilbert instead of traveling to Phoenix. We went in as a group and had to sit on the benches in front of the prosecution and defense and get asked questions by the judge ( which they actually refer to you as, in my case, "Juror #5" ha ha)...then they actually called a few of us in to ask one on one questions and I was one they had come in. I was actually all nervous even though i wasn't on trial or anything. But they had you sit in the chair up by the judge with the microphone and the prosecution and defense took turns asking you questions they wanted clarification on...anyways it was a DUI case and in the end I didn't get picked to stay, which was fine with me. But after going it would've been kind of interesting to get picked and go through the whole process. I felt like I was on that show Run Away Jury...I know silly. :D Out of the blue post, but that's been my interesting experience lately.

haha fun! Steven got almost had the "opportunity" to do that but i guess the case was canceled the day prior. That does sound like an interesting process.
