jury duty

The reason I write this so early is that my day is complete as far as the obligation of jury duty.
Interesting in that this time I did get as far as the jury box. I was then dismissed about 11:20 am with my receipt for my nine dollars (which I will receive in 6-8 weeks)in hand. What now, relatively no contingency plan. so I thought I would get stuff done around here.
Jury Duty isn't Law and Order but not too far off. I believe that my jury questionairre and God kept me from being involved in something that just from what I heard wouldbe difficult for the jurors and myself to hear and see. This is a capital rape case and it should go on at least 4 days. My thoughts go with Leslie, seated next to me in the jury box. She seemed a decent sort and she was chosen. I hear so much pain and need to deal with it myself that I gave it my best effort and was spared the duty. From the prosecutions initial presentation it sounds like dude is in big trouble in a number of ways. I'm going to try to follow it in the paper but I don't even remember his name now. Much better with faces and stories. Anyway, perhaps I'll spend the rest of the day with some productivity to it. peace
