jury duty

On Monday I was summoned to the Allegheny Court House to find out if I had been selected for jury duty. I hoped that I would not be chosen purely because I did not want to lose a week of my time, however, after sitting there for hours, I kind of hoped that I would get selected. While I was waiting I was reading a book called the Apocalypse Code by Hank Hanegraff (Highly recommend if you want to explore different ways of interpreting the prophetic passages in the Bible), and I thought that it was ironic that the person beside me was reading I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.

At the end of the day I found out that I was selected. We finished up today and after much deliberation found the defendant guilty. Here are some of my thoughts.

-It is much different than TV.

-When hearing the evidence we were all expecting CSI (Not reality).

-It is difficult to get 12 people to all agree on one thing.

-For some reason I enjoyed the atmosphere of the courthouse, lawyers, law enforcement, judges, etc.

-It is very tiring listening to hours of testimony.

-I took my responsibility very seriously.

-I very much enjoyed being on the jury and would like to do it again.

-Sbarros Pizza rocks!
