Jury Duty: Half Day Today, More Later

[canyonwalker]

When I was summoned to the court today for jury duty, things unfolded a bit differently than last time. Today we did not have voir dire but instead received a briefing about a trial, were asked to complete a written questionnaire, and were sent home for the day. We prospective jurors are due back in court in a few weeks for voir dire to determine who's impaneled on the jury.

Per the judge's instructions I will not discuss details of this case until my involvement in it is over. That includes the names of the defendants and the charges being tried. Please don't ask.
