About
a month ago I got a jury duty summons in the mail. I figured I would call in every day and never actually have
to show up. Ya, not this time. This time I actually had to show
up. So I thought that it might be
a new option for meeting new people and perhaps a sexy single man.
So
just in case you have never actually had to appear for jury duty I will explain
the process. Your group shows up
at the court and everyone is given a number. A court officer has everyone go into the courtroom where the
judge, prosecutor, defense attorney, and defendant are all waiting. Everyone swears to tell the truth and
then each potential juror is interviewed.
Everyone has to answer questions about where they live and how long they
have lived there, their occupation, martial status, children, and occupation of
significant other and children (if applicable). The judge leads the discussion and seemed to really enjoy
this part. Then the lawyers get to
ask additional questions.
Think
about the potential here. Any
attractive man has to announce their marital status. The married ones can be weeded out. My group had 38 potential jurors and
the ages spanned from around 20 to over 60. Half were women and that leaves 19 men. There were about 4
guys that fell within my dating age range and they all ended up being married
and some with kids. However,
to me the ONLY attractive man was the prosecutor and the judge had already
instructed us not to talk to the lawyers.
So
moral of the story…….jury duty is yet another place where I can NOT meet a man
and I actually ended up getting selected to be on the jury panel.
