I’M FREE… I’M FREE

Twelve angry men...well, nine angry men and one angry woman...cont....
FINALLY I have been let out to mingle with the general public again...I am free to wander the streets, eat what I want, when I want and I don’t have to go back!!!
I’m not saying it wasn’t an experience, I certainly learnt a lot about myself, and more than I ever wished to about several others…but I don’t want to have to do it again.
I was hoping for a nice easy theft trial, perhaps a bit of fraud, nothing too awful, so what did I get… a bloody drug smuggling …I kid you not, a huge quantity of heroin too!
It was hard to put my own, anti drug views on hold to look at the facts, and base my opinion on evidence alone… but it had to be taken seriously, and done right.
But it wasn’t so simple, and I am totally drained from talking about it, arguing about it and losing sleep over it.
I was totally uncomfortable with having the huge responsibility of someone’s life at stake…
So no, don’t want to do it again thanks!!!!
But now, I can catch up with the blogs I have missed, spend some time with the kids and get the bomb site that is my house in order and eat something delicious!!!
Oh its good to be back!

And it's good to have you back. I'm so glad you did your civil duty!
I'm sure it is good to be back to your own world again.

Oops, I meant civic duty, but in a civil way!

Wow! That sounds exciting! Glad you are back!

Glad you are free to run again. I always think it would be interesting to sit on a trial jury, but I dont like the thought if it came to being sequestered. I wouldnt want to leave my kiddos.

I got called on a case of a child that had been sexually abused. Sorry, but there is no way I could have served fairly on that one. I was dismissed after spending the day listening to the lawyers and answering questions. I don't think his lawyer liked my answers.....
