Prospective Juror
Oh, boy. I'm now a prospective juror on a trial concerning what sounds like a nasty situation. So far we have all filled out questionnaires, and will be grilled in person tomorrow.
The questionnaire was deeply unnerving. I don't myself feel that "answering honestly" really sorts with Yes or No, even if you can Explain in three lines or even use more paper if you want. I feel that my answers were not consistent and that they'll think I was lying. But I wasn't. I have many mixed feelings and many contradictory opinions.
They ask what TV shows you watch and what your favorite characters are.
They ask if you want to be a juror on this trial. I said that I didn't, well aware that they may be screening just as much for people who want to for creepy reasons.
I would complain for several screens except that, well, whatever ills I think being on this jury may bring, they hardly compare with either being a victim of this crime or with being falsely accused of it.
