the_siobhanMy second time being called up but my first time actually getting out of the waiting room. They pulled the entire crowd of us - about 200 people - into a court room where the charges were read. Then they broke us up into groups of 25, gave each group a time to return, and started pulling us one by one into a separate room to be interviewed.
Thing I did not know, jurors get a say in the process of jury selection. The first person picked get to say yes or no on the second. Then they both get a say in picking juror number 3. Then 2 & 3 get a say on juror number 4. Then 3 & 4 get a say on number 5. And so on. And they pick 14 people, not 12, in case there is a last minute reason why somebody suddenly can't make it.
So now I've learned something.
Anyway, I did not get picked for the jury. They have another jury selection to do this week but that doesn't start until the first one is filled so I don't have to be back in the courthouse until Friday.
