JD Hell Part Deux
So I am not on a jury, yet. I am, however, in a jury pool for a particular case which I may not discuss except to say it's a criminal matter. I must return to the Courthouse of Doom tomorrow for further waiting around with my thumb up my butt sitting in a courtroom with nothing to do but listen to idiots spew their biases in an effort to get out of service, as reading in the courtroom is prohibited and I suspect that if I piss this judge off it won't be that good for me....

And, joy of joys, it might go through to Tuesday before they actually get around to picking a jury. So much for work this week and next.....
The only bright spot is that I am 7 from the back of the queue....

You're not permitted to read?
Oh, hells. I feel your pain. I'd need to be medicated to be able to sit in a courtroom for hours like that without something to DO.

I can't believe they don't let you read! Blech.

I have never heard of a court not allowing you to read while they have you over a barrel. It isn't even testimony, so what's the big deal?
I'm sorry you are suffering so. Being that bored and not being able to read would probably drive me bonkers.

Tell them that you believe anyone who makes it all the way to a trial, must be guilty. Then you get to go home.

No, Alan: then they send you to civil court.
