After being called within the first group of 50 jurors, then having my name drawn to sit in the jury box all morning and afternoon through the selection process, I was not chosen to be one of 12.
I was also excused period! I could not be any happier. The trial was a murder case... but no ordinary murder. It was perhaps [as they put it] one of the most "GRISLY" murders in state history.
I guess nobody wants the horrified, hysterical, emotionally-charged, pregnant woman on that sort of jury. This was the disembowelment of an elderly woman 20 years ago - where the person responsible had apparently thrown this lady's organs against the wall. I can safely say I think the trial is in perfectly capable, not-pregnant-not-me hands. And here below is a link to some of the news coverage I would have been sworn not to conduct this internet search for [truly, the journalist puts it mildly calling his coverage graphic - mildly compared to what was talked about today]. Holy disturbing. No. No. And thank you. No.
