I was on a jury on Monday that lasted until Tuesday which we put away a bad person. Got done with that and got picked for another trial. That one really never got started. They sent the guy out to mental health to see if he is fit for trial. Seen him out in the hall later on, and he looked fit to me. He was putting a show on inside the courtroom. It will be another 10 yrs before I get picked again.
