I always thought it would be interesting to sit on one of those juries, but when I actually had the possibility to be chosen for one, I freaked out. This guy took 2 people's lives, and now I could be part of deciding whether this guy lived or died! It's fine if someone else makes that decision, but I sure don't! I had to sit in the court along with all the other potential jurors and listen to the judge give a one hour talk about what constitutes capital murder and the requirements for giving the death penalty. I was having an anxiety attack the whole time because no one was allowed to leave! If someone left, she had to stop her talk until everyone was present. To top it off, I wore some Clarks shoes that I hadn't worn in years, and they disintegrated on the way to the court house! The soles were detaching from the leather top. I had floppy clown shoes.Keely Seylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905026115663756748.post-75150784732362695152010-07-02T21:42:00.692-05:002010-07-02T21:42:00.692-05:00They select you based off car registration now!

At least that's what happened to me in St. Louis. <br />I freaked them out and they didn't choose me. <br />I'm normal, it's what I wanted ;) <br /><br />Yeah, that makes perfect sense. You'll have time to read! <br /><br />What's weird is while in the screening process I met this really awesome chick named Sarah and we hit it off. Unfortunately we're not in touch anymore, but it can happen for you too! :D <br /><br />Have fun and thanks for enjoying your civic duty.Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392536994495885970noreply@blogger.com
