Blogging Jurors
Concurring Opinions recently highlighted a fabulous post by Anne Reed at Deliberations, which compiles eye-opening thoughts on jury duty from bloggers who are either serving on a jury, experiencing voir dire, or otherwise engaged in jury service. Here's my favorite from The Hiding Place:
*sigh* How the hell did someone like me wind up serving on a jury? I'm easily bored, disagreeable yet strangely apathetic, and I spent the entire day making rude comments, poking a cricket with my shoe and rolling my eyes whenever one of the (many) idiots in the jury pool said something stupid... which was often. Plus, I think one of the attorneys is an absolute moron.
Funny thing - the judge kept yawning really hugely and dozing off during the trial. I think the bailiff might have napped a little bit, too.
