Today I didn’t have to show up until 9:30 am, but nothing even happened until 10:30 am. When they finally let us in they spent the next 1.5 hours picking the rest of the jury. At noon they had picked the main 12, but we all had to come back after lunch to pick alternates.

And lucky me gets to be one.

They think it will take until the end of next week, but I guess that’s about as much as I can say right now. It’s a really interesting experience thus far, and while I don’t enjoy using my sick days, I think it’s something everyone should do at some point. I did more writing today, and while I’m sure having to sit through a trial will slow my progress, there is still a lot of down time and I can use it to fill my composition book!
