Well today I was exercising one of my constitutional rights, and no I do not mean free healthcare, I mean jury duty. I was one of about 200 other jurors who were taken to either state or superior court and asked several questions on any number of topics about the case.

My case involved a DUI along with 8 other charges. I was not selected and was kind of glad I was not picked because I am a strong proponent of law enforcement, but would have made any decision based on the rule of law.

I do not and nor should anyone take this responsibility lightly because we were given this right by our forefathers.

Well I made my 6:00 pm call and found that I must report to the jury room at 8:30 am tomorrow. Well if I am selected for a jury, you will not here from me until the trial is over. However, if I am not selected, then stay tuned for further information.
