So, I just received my summons for jury duty in mid-April.
I've never done this before, but have always been intrigued (I used to work for the Court of Queen's Bench and was ineligible, hence being able to dodge this bullet, erm, democratic duty, for so long). Depending on the case, I think it would be really interesting to be a part of a jury, but ugh, what if it's one of those that goes on forever and I'm sequestered, or it's a horrible, horrible crime that puts me in therapy with PTSD? Give me a good old-fashioned mob hit or something.
When I mentioned it at work today I was flooded by tons of my coworkers wanting to share their jury duty stories. It was really interesting to see how this common, usually dreaded, obligation was a shared human experience and hear all their different takes on it.
So, do any of you have a jury duty story to share, either the process or actually serving on one?
