Airport-like security screening with the wands and X-raying of bags and such.
Herded into a BIG room to await registration. Registration took almost an hour.
Then we got to watch a video about how wonderful and fulfilling it is to sit on a jury.
Then we waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Around noon they said a Judge was coming in to talk to us. Odd since we were supposed to go to the courtroom to see him.
Long story shortened, due to scheduling of rooms, judges and cases, no new trials will start this week so we are all dismissed. Thanks for your service. Maybe we will see you again in 3 years. 
Funniest part was there were about 25 people who brought letters in an effort to get out of serving. They were deferred to another date and sent home early. They are not considered to have done their service and will have to come back another time.  |
