I actually like jury duty in DC. It's like being in a Hill Street Blues episode.

Anne, I have been called once in my lifetime and the trial was cancelled before jury selection. It sounds like that was a tough trial to sit through. Loved the closing photo.

Your description that the summons arrives "with a side order of dread" is perfect.

I've been called many times, but only ended up serving once, and hope I never have to serve on a case like that again, an attempted -and nearly successful- double murder. Lucky for me, my fellow jurors and I were all in agreement. Also really loved the ending with the newly married couple, very sweet!
