A Day In Court.

No, No, it's not what you think. I didn't get in trouble or anything, it was Jury Duty. So I call and call the number to see if the case was still on. Of course it was still on so I had to drive to Elko, a two hour drive, hoping I wouldn't get picked for the jury.

So the court room fills up with prospective jurors, the bailiff tells us what to expect and then tells us we can have a few minutes to use the restroom or whatever else we may need to take care of before we get started. After we get back in the court room the judge comes in and basically tells us the same stuff the bailiff said.

Then the court reads the charges, and this sounded really messed up. The bailiff has everyone go out into the hall for about 10 minutes and then come back in. At that time the bailiff tells all of the prospective jurors that the charges that were read were incorrect and the case will be scheduled for a later date. We all were excused, with pay. Then they paid me $80 for my trouble. Cool!
