We don't call it jury responsibility or service or civic right. It's boring, long waits and a masquerade of justice most of the time. But it's one the things that is supposed to make our country the best in all the world. Your fate is decided by a group of your peers and you have a right to this.
I might have to go on Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday, etc. We have on-call service. You serve either five call-in days, one day in person or as many days as a case lasts. If you recall Pkin had a challenge with a day stretching into two last month. I need to call this weekend to determine my fate. Maybe I should look up who is "C. Shortridge Foltz" for whom the courthouse is named.
I think someone rather significant said not to trust a man with an initial for a first name. What is he hiding? What is "C" hiding!?!
I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed so you can get off with no time served!
