Make certain you leave out any further details.

Don't discuss the case any further, particularly where there will be a permanent internet record of your discussion. You never know who is reading or what Google spider might pick up a key word or phrase.

You don't want to wind up with a contempt citation to add to your jury duty.

After the case is done, everything is fair game.

Oh....I definitely know that. Nothing else will be said until this is all over with.

Now there's a conundrum... we have a right to be tried by a jury of our peers, but our peers don't want to sit on the jury.

I've actually always wanted to be on a jury, but never been called. I think it would be a great way to help out others, and a lot of fun. If there was a place to sign up I would volunteer.

It's generally boring as shit and/or depressing.

You're either going to get a case that is boring as ****......or you'll get one that will **** with you.

I despised being a court reporter and working criminal in general. The minor stuff was just boring. But the bigger cases dealing with really bad things were mostly boring, punctuated by times of pure awfulness. You've got the accused, the accused's family members, the victim, the victim's family members, all of them with their lives in turmoil endlessly pissing and moaning. And multiply the suck factor by 1,000 if you're dealing with children. Just horrible.

You need to be able to tune out human suffering or thrive on it. I couldn't do either.

Yes it is. Picture the worst teacher you have ever had in the boring department, take that times three and you're getting close.
