Thread Name: BS: Jury Duty
Subject: RE: BS: Jury Duty
I had to spend 6 months on The Pool. Drove 170 miles round trip at least 4 times. Was actually 'questioned' during voir dire 3 times. Never actually got empaneled. The Judge and I got pretty friendly, LOL!

I'm a cops wife...NO WAY was any defense attorney going to let that pass.

I didn't mind the whole thing, and at least it was spring/summer in Wyoming so the roads were good. The day money and mileage they paid me was actually more than my day job makes, but my boss was pretty unhappy! LOL. No, I didn't have any sympathy for her.

Every time I was 'called' for the voir dire, I did take all my stuff to be prepared to spend the night. Never had to, never expect to, the 'cops wife' thing.

I'd do it again.
