I would like to see it again...maybe a winter-viewing. My jury day was a drug trial...a young man who was arrested dealing in a downtown park. It was pretty cut-and-dried and we found him guilty. I was summoned one other day since, and it was what you described: sitting around all day only to be let go at 4:50p.m. But I met some interesting people to talk with!<br /><br />Cracked me up imagining Quazimodo (swinging over the ocean?).

Mostly its sitting about all day waiting to see if the trial goes ahead or not by all accounts. Not like 12 Angry Men then, which is a great film incase you've never seen it :)Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.com
