Well, that’s that. I was officially release from Jury Duty today. I feel cheated. What promised to be a great adventure turned out to be rather tedious. I wish I could tell you some great story of how I decided the fate of another human being, but alas I cannot. I can tell you that watching 5 hrs of movies on an iPod Nano can give you a serious crick in the neck.

My favorite quote from Jury Duty:

( in response to his name being called for placement on a Jury panel ) “Hang’em high!”

Waited for 3 hours for the judge to notify us that the defendant had taken the plea bargain of 1 year jail time. Which means that, although I sat in the jurors box, I wasn’t actually involved in a court case. Maybe tomorrow will be more court time and less waiting. But just in case I’m putting the original Die Hard trilogy on my iPod.
