Dodging a bullet......

A few weeks ago, I was selected to be on call for jury duty by the county court. I was a petit juror, being on call for three days.

And so I called the phone number on Friday night per my instructions. The message: "Jurors are not needed for Monday 9/20. Call back the evening on 9/20 for further instructions." And so I repeated the daily call. Ultimately, I wasn't needed and didn't have to report for the three days I'm on call. On last night's message, the court thanked me for my service.

It'll probably be another 10 years before my name comes up again for jury duty.

Sure, but it doesn't actually matter what the judge wants; the jury votes the way it feels best.
