Random Selection
Erin used to work at the court house here and she knows that juries are supposed to be randomly selected. Laura has jury duty again. I think I have had it 3 times--once Federal. Eric has had twice, Larry has been picked and Laura is on her third round I think. I always get excused because after teaching almost 40 years I know all those being tried or their mother! Larry wants to get picked when he is called. The red headed girl is a stand out and every time she is chosen to serve. You know she has a soft heart. Once a young mother was up for hot checks the 3rd time and all the old folks wanted her to get prison time. She had 3 little kids. Laura said they could stay there for days and she would not agree to prison time. Yesterday it was a dui case...she got picked. Thank heaven they settled. The guy had 2 little kids at home. Laura would have been a hold out! Erin might have said where are the keys.
good for the red head girl there are lot of worse things than kindness and love the world needs more love not less.
ReplyDeleteI could never serve on a jury. I am not prepared to set in judgement of any one.
