In addition, I also mentioned that I had tried to do as much of this work as possible in writing as Law School did teach me to leave a paper trail. Also mentioned my four degrees and when and where I earned these.
I do hope that I get to serve on a Jury for once. After four tries, the fifth will be the one.

I am set maybe for Jury Duty near the end of May 2014 down in Bushnell, Florida.
Hope to get some support from TOTVers about the work I have been doing--pro bono-- with respect to improving access to practical materials for victims/survivors of crimes.
Some may remember I sent 110 or so of the documents I have acquired in this fight to the Marketplace (ObamaCare) a few months ago (2014) so that I could at least argue for getting Medicaid. I had hoped that the federal government would authenticate these documents. NONE of them are connected to Sumter County that I recall as they based on communications I made while in Minnesota, California, Illinois and from Pinellas County, Florida.
What can you do to help with this? What would you want to see if you were a survivor/victim of crime? What kind of information would you need access to via the Internet as well as in your local public/law/medical library? I had tried to force a dialog about the needs of survivors/victims of violent crimes in 1991 and never stopped-- but slowed down quite often about this--based upon my own experiences trying to find practical information following the murder of Michelle Mitchell on my birthday of 2-24 in 1976 near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. I used to drive past the garage where Miss Michelle Mitchell was murdered on 2-24 in 1976 during my studies which earned me two BAs from the University of Nevada, Reno.
If you feel the need to do so, contact the local libraries in your community to see what materials you would need to look at if you were a victim/survivor of violent crime. What kind of information would you like to accessible from a Sheriff's Department website?
I have brought this up off-and-on all throughout my time on TOTV since the Summer of 2007. I have tried not to make a pest of myself about this as I did that on Findlaw's message boards for five years (2001-2006 or so) and as far as I know did not really have much of an impact except for receiving some e-mails from people who may or may not have acted to improve the situation for survivors/victims of violent crimes.
If I get jury duty, I will probably have to explain this hobby to a certain extent and want to make it as easy on myself and my listeners as possible.
