I was stupid as a young person as many of us are. I got caught syphoning gas a couple blocks from my parents house. I knew I was in trouble when the cop stepped out of his car and said good evening, using my name. Spent 2 days in county for that. I knew 2 of the others in the cell and played Pinochle for 2 days.
That was around 1980. Recently, for the very first time in my life, I received a jury summons. In the online questionnaire was the question of whether I had even been convicted of theft. I answered honestly even though it has been 40+ years. Due to that, I was rejected from serving. I was a bit disappointed as I have always kind of wondered what the experience was like. It is still amazing that the first jury summons came when I was 61!
