So yesterday one of the things I got in the mail was a summons to jury duty. I have been called to be a prospective juror in the circuit court here. Circuit court, in this state's system, is the higher trial court, the one that deals with large lawsuits or felony charges. So I could, conceivably, be the juror on a case that could lead to the death penalty.
I'm a little torn about how I feel. For selfish reasons, I don't want to be stuck on a trial that could run weeks. But I'd also like to really get that inside view of the justice system that I couldn't get any other way (well, without being a defendant, which I really don't want to happen.) So we'll see what happens. I'm not going to dodge this in any way. I'll keep you all posted.
