They have asked those kind of questions in all the other jury duty pools I have been in since 1993 or so. I was surprised though that they put a San Francisco lawyer on the jury in Sonoma County, at least up to the point that they bumped me. The judge had mentioned that he had seen me in their law library. I had been checking their holdings for practical value for victims/survivors of crimes. Something I have been doing in all the libraries I go into since the end of February 1976 because of the Michelle Mitchell murder in Reno, Nevada on 2-24 in 1976 while I was a student of Mrs. Barbara Mitchell at Earl Wooster High School.
