Wednesday afternoon greetings! Well, I reported as ordered and participated in the process, but did not get selected for the jury. By the time the judge asked the question about medical concerns, he'd already said the civil trial (worker's comp issue) would be short - today and possibly tomorrow morning. So, I did express my concern about prolonged sitting and he said they could seat me so that I could stand as necessary or I could leave.
<Ginny rolls the dice...>
I thanked the court for the accommodation and elected to stay. Both attorneys asked questions, both of specific people and of the group as a whole and then we were asked to wait in the hall. When we went back in the courtroom, a jury of 8 (plus an alternate) was seated, but I was among those dismissed (for today - I still have to call the rest of this week and next.
And, just so you know, prospective jurors in our county are not treated like royalty.
