Model juror
Originally published 12 April 2002

I reported for jury duty, once. This storyline is the result.

Basically, Llewellyn's experiences are a gross exaggeration of some of my own. I expressed some opinions, one of the attorneys found them unhelpful to her case, and I was struck from the jury pool along with, it seemed to me, anyone else who'd expressed an opinion.

So I guess it's trial by a jury of peers who aren't interesting enough to be offensive to either lawyer.
