Jury duty was a bust. I got picked for a jury in a felony case as Juror number 4. It took two days to pick the 12 and 2 substitutes. On the day we were to start hearing the case we arrived and were ready to sit in the court room and the court officer said it would be another hour because of some motions. Well at 10:10 we filed into our seats ready to perform our citizen's duty and I notice the defendant is not in the court, that does not bode well for continuation of justice.The judge with a small smile on his face stated, "This is one of the shortest trials in history". You see the defendant pleaded guilty to all counts and the case was over.
Oh well, that is the justice system for you.
