Jury duty is an interesting thing. In my case, it was criminal and lasted four days. It is strange how our law is based purely on "reasonable doubt." Everything is in the hands of the jurors based on that. We took a man out of jail yesterday because we found him not guilty. It is difficult because all of us believed him to be guilty of something. But not the particular situation we dealt with. It was not proved to us--therefore, a possibly guilty man went free. We'll never know the truth. And I know people were hurt with the verdict. ...jury duty is good for learning...about different people, lifestyles, law, our country...etc.
Now I am off to the ever-so-loved DMV.

I just wanted to say...I found it punny that you said "In my case..." when talking about jury duty. Was that accidental?
not entirely.
