I agree. For the first time in my life I was called and selected to serve on a circuit court case a few months back. Showed up on the day of the trial and we were sent to wait in the juror's room. A little while later the clerk came in and told us the case had been dismissed, but the judge wanted to talk to us.

The judge thanked us for our willingness to serve, and for our time, asuring us that they had done everything they could to not waste it. The D.A. explained the case to us, and what had gone on that morning. The defense even spoke a few minutes.

I found the whole thing pretty fascinating and learned a lot about what goes on in my community. I definately had a lot more respect for LEO and the crap they have to go through each and every day.

I would gladly serve again.
