Jury duty is always an interesting experience. I was impaneled as an alternate juror for a trial involving parental assault on a teen child.
Good luck and enjoy the experience. See ya when you return.
I look forward to hearing about it.
I hope your experience is interesting. And look forward to your return.
Interesting
Good luck. I hope all goes well.
Sounds like an experience I hope you will share somehow. Sketches from the scene or such?
I hope all is going well! Hugs, Chrisx
I hope you have an interesting experience.
Good luck with it... I've never done jury duty, and I think I'm probably relieved about that.
