By 11 the yellow and purple groups had been called up to their respective judicial chambers. One group had some people excused based on their answers to the juror questionaire, the other has none. Of course, i’m in the only group that’s left.
At 11 my group’s judge came in and apologized for the delay. It seems that his court had some unexpected events and neither he nor the lawyers in the case have had time to even look at our questionaires. So, he sent the lot of us off to lunch with orders to report back at 1pm at which time they’ll be ready to excuse/call us fom/for the jury enpanneling process.
What I do know is that the trial is a criminal one and that it should take only 2-3 days.
I’m now back at the justice center, sitting outside with my Sbux, waiting for 1pm.
