JD Hell Part Deux
So I am not on a jury, yet. I am, however, in a jury pool for a particular case which I may not discuss except to say it's a criminal matter. I must return to the Courthouse of Doom tomorrow for further waiting around with my thumb up my butt sitting in a courtroom with nothing to do but listen to idiots spew their biases in an effort to get out of service, as reading in the courtroom is prohibited and I suspect that if I piss this judge off it won't be that good for me....
And, joy of joys, it might go through to Tuesday before they actually get around to picking a jury. So much for work this week and next.....
The only bright spot is that I am 7 from the back of the queue....

Oh, hells. I feel your pain. I'd need to be medicated to be able to sit in a courtroom for hours like that without something to DO.

Posted by: pam at January 18, 2008 07:10 AMI have never heard of a court not allowing you to read while they have you over a barrel. It isn't even testimony, so what's the big deal?
I'm sorry you are suffering so. Being that bored and not being able to read would probably drive me bonkers.
