The case I was on lasted about three days or so if memory serves. I got on the jury panel but the judge challenged me as I was being quite skimpy with my answers to his questions. I had to be as my background with the legal system is very complicated and cannot be covered in a few short sentences. I did follow the ruling by the judge in the media. It was a cop suing for discrimination on the basis of race. He had wanted to write his police reports in Spanish and some members of his department bullied him because of it. Judge found for the police department but criticized the employer and some of the police force for their actions. But did not hold them liable. |
The judge asked a retired CIA manager from west of the Villages if he wanted to be Jury Foreman. He said yes. Made me nervous about talking about much of anything when the Judge asked this man about his background and the like.
The jury was eight people if I remember correctly.
Once I was dismissed from the Jury Pool I went to Paddock Mall and had lunch and then went to see
Avatar in 3D at the Hollywood 16 theater.
I have had a real fixation on movies and their details since viewing
Outbreak with my mother in Petaluma, CA in 1995. This had been filmed in that area of Northern CA.
