Chances are you won't even have to sit on one. I spent two months on call, showed up about 4 times...cases were all pled out prior to trial. This has been my experience. I showed and there was nothing for me to do. Easy as pie to sit and read all day with an excused absence from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be funny trying to get past the metal detector/security folks at the door with a bass case...."really sheriff; it's not a machine gun".

They want someone whom they feel can be swayed by emotion. The easier they think you can be manipulated, the more they want you. Boy, I should be in good shape then. I'll wear my Mr. Spock Star Trek outfit, pointed ears, phaser gun (oops, better leave that at home ) and communicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
