I heard from people at the jail that once you've worked at the jail they don't want you on a jury, so I may never serve on one here.Inklingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173567199140492921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-8816512988745547772008-05-28T07:51:00.000-07:002008-05-28T07:51:00.000-07:00My only service on a jury was a rape case in North...My only service on a jury was a rape case in Northern Utah---it was way tough to listen to all of the testimonies and try to make sense of it all---we spent a great deal of time re-reading the notes and looking at the evidence---hours and hours and hours---and taking votes on guilt of innocence.<BR/><BR/>No one ever thought he was innocent but several of thought he might be over charged---after about 6 hours we finally found him guilty.<BR/><BR/>I tried really hard to get released and told the judge I was on a National Fire Team and we were up on rotation and that I needed to go with them---he said tough luck buddy part of being a citizen is serving on juries---I am really glad he didn't let me walk and that I had to sit through the entire trial and make the decision on guilt fot this thug---we didn't get a lot of information on him until after our decision but he had a rap sheet a mile long.
