I got a jury summons a couple of weeks back. Monday I had to call to see if my group had been selected- it was. Yesterday I went to the court house to wait for impending doom.
Guess what????
They were starting a prescreening process for a potential SIXTEEN WEEK TRIAL....HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!! They ask for 'volunteers' and that consists of people that have no real excuse to not partake in the the trial. I said yes when my name was called. (Stupid me wasn't thinking that a job I have lined up from when I blow my current pop stand might start earlier than anticipated- yeah, stupid me....especially if I'm MID TRIAL).
I fill out a 30 page questionnaire answering questions on the death penalty (I say "fry the fuckers'), history in the psychiatric world (worked it), thoughts on substance abusers (no sympathy, can't deal with it, slight PTSD from the social work gig I did), and who do I know that's been arrested and all that jazz. If I get selected, it will be for a drive by shoot 'em up murder from 2004.
I'll find out next week if I get selected for phase 3- narrowing down the 120 people to 40 to have polite conversations with the judge and lawyers.
Um- woo hoo????
