Jury duty II: Why did I go?

I reported bright and early to jury duty this morning.

I left this afternoon worn and frustrated.

I'm in the pool for a criminal trial, and they're not done sorting us out yet.

So, I get to report again Monday afternoon.

I hope to hell I get thrown out. I usually do, as soon as the defense learns that I've been on a death penalty murder trial. Today, I sat in the witness section all day, never got a chance to show off my criminal-bustin' chops.

There are only 16 people left in our pool. I hope they bring in some fresh talent Monday, or my ass is going to be going downtown every day until Christmas.

If that happens, I will vote to send that defendant to Soledad so fast it will make his head spin.
