The first time I sat in the waiting room and read almost all day as they called us in, asked us questions, etc; I wasn't picked for any jury and they didn't call me back after the third day of this.  The second time, I was picked to be on the jury. It took us, oh, three days. One and a half days of testimony and one and a half days of arguing amonst ourselves <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It was a medical malpractice case and both sides acted like they had something to hide. The doctor was stiff, evasive, and very uncooperative.  The plaintiff was erratic, she didn't tell the same story twice, etc.  We deliberated for hours each day and finally had to tell the judge we could not come to a decision. She told us to come to one. We went back the next day and we argued all day long. Finally the judge accepted that we were a hung jury and we left.  It was a fascinating process and I'd gladly do it again. State agencies have a special code for time spent on jury duty, so we get compensated the same as if we were at work, plus the cash allotment they give us.</blockquote>
