it wasnt bad for the pre jury duty you just sit in a room and read magazines but when i actlually had the chance i volunteered, want to know why. If you try a case as soon as the case is over your off duty. I tried a case lasted one day got free lunch from the state and it was over. On top of that i got paid buy the city to be a juror. If it were up to me id get on a case as soon as possible only because they dont pick you again after that. Just be aware of any high profile cases going on in your town, because then you might get something more then one day. I had an easy one, some cops pull up to this vehicle blocking a alley. They find the driver to figure out whats going on. Well when there talking to the guy from his trailor door they see the meth sitting on the kitchen table. Proble cause to enter so then cuff and stuff the guy and his girl and find a bunch more. The guy was trying to get off due to the fact that they didnt have proble cause to enter his house. I was like duh your car was blocking the alley and you had drugs on the table. Case closed, free pizza and 200 bucks. Nice for a wednesday.
