Quiet Time

You may wonder why I am being so quiet.

I have spent a few days at the local courthouse as one of the members of a jury pool for an upcoming case.

I have only been called twice in my life for jury duty and these calls have both been here in Hawaii in the past year.

I would love to comment of the process but as you may know, it would be inappropriate at this time. I expect that today I will finally find out if I am needed for this particular jury.

More later.

An update:

I went bck to the court and will not go into details as it is a case ready to go to go to trial. However, I was called to the jury box, spoke with the judge at the bench and was excused from serving on the trial.

I always wanted to serve on a jury, but this is not the time.

Our legal system may not be perfect, but it tries to be as fair to everyone involved, especially potential jurors, jurors and the defendent.

Our legal system. I think we’ll keep it.
