Jury Duty - Day 2


A few thoughts about jury duty, although I obviously can't talk about the case.

It's fabulous to live in a country where we have citizen juries. We trust ordinary individuals without training in law, to make difficult decisions on both civil and criminal trials. It's contining evidence that people on the US don't require kings or queens, popes, or lords. Ordinary people can think for themselves without the ruling class ursurping those roles.

Baliff is the ultimate job. You get to wear a gun and sleep on the job. I wish I could be a baliff. I suppose it's more exciting in a criminal trial.
