Suppose to be at the courthouse at 9am - arrive to find a fairly long line to get into the building, security check don't you know...and me without a jacket (wasn't expecting a line)... Luckily not too cold, and I made it into the building just before the rain started! Checkin and wait...
10:20am - going into the courtroom... First degree murder trial - wow... I guess I can't say much more about it here... Ouch, the most number of people to stand up for exclusion so far is people who have been through something similar before, first guy said his 14 year old son was murdered... This shouldn't be the biggest reason people are excluded, that's just not right... Nope, medical reasons is the biggest. Nope, exceptional hardship is the biggest - mostly students (ie. missed classes and exams) or people who are self-employed or who aren't paid for their time off. I made it through preliminaries, but need to be back at 2pm to begin the formal selection process, apparently we will be merged with another panel of pre-filtered candidates.
