So as it turns out, the closest I got to witnessing any courtroom drama today was while sitting in the jury assembly room watching the Zimmerman trial on Court TV. Apparently, the defendant in the case WE were scheduled to hear this morning never showed. As a result, at approximately 11 a.m., “Municipal Betty,” who registered me when I arrived, stood before us and thanked us for our service before sending us on our way.
“None of you will have to worry about seeing this building again for two years,” she said. But as I walked by, she whispered, “Except for you, depending on what you do with that stolen car.”
“That really depends on you, ” I said, “and whether you want it back.”
Next stop: Circuit court!
For all of you who kept me company in the jury assembly room via my blog, many thanks 😉 Especially you, Lisa and Jen
And to Is Everyone an Idiot But Me, it was nice to meet you.
