Yup...I may have to go on Tuesday. I have gotten selected a few times the last couple of years and was never required to actually go...I'll find out Monday after 3:00 p.m. for sure.
The last time that I actually had to show up was about 20 years ago and that was a pretty scary experience. I sat in the court house all day and then I was part of a group that had to go and see the judge, two lawyers and the accused...it was a battery case and that guy was real big and real mean looking...he honestly scared the crap out of me!
At that time I was young and not really aware of my duties as a citizen, I was just more concerned that he was big, scary and scowling at me, and my dad and two of my brothers worked for the Corrections Department--I pretty much got out of serving on that jury.
Now that I'm older and wiser (I hope) I am ready to do my duty if I should happen to get picked to go to a trial.
I'll have to wait and see what happens on Monday at 3:00.
