I was in a pool of jurors down in Bushnell years ago. This was for Sumter County. The defendant finally was convinced to plead guilty for vehicular manslaughter after about three hours of talks between the attorneys. The judge said that the trial would have been about six weeks .


We never got to questions for the potential jurors. There were a number of Villagers there.


We did get paid for the trip there and back and for a half day.
Happy to be on a jury for a short period but for a 6 week trial would find more excuses not to serve than Carter has pills.
