What would Ben think if I had shirked my jury duty?
I've been called to appear for jury duty about half a dozen times in my life. However, I never got past the Sunday night call-up that instructs you to show up on Monday a.m.
Until last Sunday. The phone recording let me know my "group" was to appear. How about that! Monday morning, I checked in at the Greene County Judicial Building. No problem. I took Business Law 101 about 100 years ago in college, so I knew that a jury was approximately 12 people. A quick glance around the crowded room (count the legs and divide by two) assured me that the odds of being selected were about 1 in 5.
