Break in the weather

[RGINN]

So, finished up 2 days of being called in for jury duty and still being required to work my night shifts (got 4 and a half hours sleep in 46 hours) Judge felt sorry for me and sent me home. Weather's good and I was ready to get out somewhere besides Summit County. Went up north on Trough Road and looked over the Colorado River. They have a little less snow on the ground than we do. Still cold like everywhere, only up to 14 at 11a.m.

Hey metalman, if there's a place where they dump the snow from clearing the streets, like here, go detect that when it starts to melt down in spring. I've found some pretty cool stuff.

I was just looking at the snow piles around the Walmart parking lot. Locations noted for spring thaw.👍🏻

Looks pretty brisky out there. I've never been selected for jury duty. During the selection process you just answer all their questions like your some kind of a smart ass and they'll cross you off every time.

My father in law always got out of jury duty. He would tell them: “If the cops brought him in he has to be guilty.”🤣 That always worked for him. Another way to get shown to door quickly is to tell the lawyers and judge you are a firm believer in “Jury Nullification”. I guarantee you’ll be gone in a heartbeat.

Well TR I thought my prior law enforcement experience would get me out right away. No such luck. Both sides wanted to keep me, and I stayed right down to the final selection. The judge felt sorry for me and held me back so I finally got dismissed. It might seem strange to want an LEO on the jury, but there really is an advantage to both sides. If I establish to their satisfaction I will be unbiased, I have a better understanding of the law than the average citizen. Both sides believe that might help them, and maybe it will. I had to serve once before, the jury looked to me for guidance, and we found the guy not guilty. I told the DA later that I'm sorry, but due to my experience and training you just didn't really present the elements needed to prove a crime had actually been committed beyond a reasonable doubt.

I have been on several juries during my life. The most interesting was when I sat on a Grand Jury. In the end an indictment was issued. When I turned 75, I no longer have to report for Jury Duty, but it was and interesting experience.
