Not the first time I've heard that suggestion, but as I'm involved in local politics, I do have to be careful what I say.

One of my close friends had been sexually assaulted in a very similar situation, so I was eventually not selected (thank God). Had it been otherwise, I would have been there until Thursday or Friday.

A lot of times. They will select a jury for a trial. Then the guy will take a plea deal. That has happened to me twice. You have just got done sitting for 4 hr being picked, then the judge says "you can go, see you tomorrow".

Good morning everyone!

Another day in paradise for me.

We have been busy as sh*t.

That was probably why they let us sit till around 1 pm before calling us down. I suspect they were working on a plea bargain and couldn't get something amenable to both sides.

jchammond · 11-20-2019, 08:35 AM

Woke up around 6am & felt like Ric Flair had me in the figure-4

Gotta drink more water on these cooler days...

Think you can go into Settings. Display, and change the Sleep timer to Never, and there is another one that you change to Never also.

Arthritis is working a bit of over time on my lower neck, upper back lately. Come home from work and have to take some Bayer Back and Body for relief. Thinking about going to my bone breaker for an adjustment. It's been a few years since I seen him.

This is where I'm basically legally obligated to chime in and state that if you do that, there's a not-insignificant chance the judge will decide to let you hone your guilty-people-spotting skill by putting you in lockup for the day.

Not if the computer is owned by the same entity that cuts my paycheck...

1pm is the afternoon court call. So they hold you until they know they won't need bodies jurors for the day.
