BUT, it was the best thing for me, because it was soooo out of my comfort zone. And it really opened my eyes to the way laws are written, and why(!) people get off. The judge kept telling us to FOLLOW the law on the case. Unfortunately, he didn't get what he deserved.<br />Glad yours is over. I don't go back on the jury "wheel" for two more years. I've been called twice, and it's getting Old!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538317661391712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244731555291282114.post-29705432668261805392009-11-15T20:51:25.755-05:002009-11-15T20:51:25.755-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928460355403104172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244731555291282114.post-4298718495852472912009-11-15T20:51:25.093-05:002009-11-15T20:51:25.093-05:00Hi Michelle...
Good to see you!!!
You asked abou...Hi Michelle...<br /><br />Good to see you!!!<br /><br />You asked about our experience with Jury Duty...well, here's mine.<br /><br />Up until 2 years ago (around my 58th birthday), I'd never been called. But...after living in Michigan for only 2 years...bingo, I'm called. I thought that was kind of odd.<br /><br />I sincerely knew I couldn't be on jury duty...especially if it was domestic violence or child abuse, or actually just about any kind of case.<br /><br />First, I am a survivor of both domestic violence and child sexual abuse.<br /><br />Secondly, God has given me the gift of discernment and knowledge...and I was downright nervous about that. What if I was sitting on a jury and I KNEW that the person was guilty? I knew I couldn't say NOT GUILTY.<br /><br />So...I wrote a very short note to the Court Commissioner...just stating the facts about the gifts God has given me and they quickly fired back a reply...YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ON JURY DUTY, YOU ARE RELEASED.<br /><br />That's been my experience with Jury Duty!<br /><br />~Blessings,<br />JanGonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928460355403104172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244731555291282114.post-87032121122988852482009-11-15T20:51:24.115-05:002009-11-15T20:51:24.115-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928460355403104172noreply@blogger.com
