11:12 pm, September 17th - More jury duty today I was finally called up to the juror box today. I was questioned by counsel for both sides, and I haven't been dismissed yet. Guess there's a good chance I'll still be there for the trial. I'll probably find out tomorrow.
More of the jury selection tomorrow. They've questioned almost everyone, and they sent lots of people home. There are only 4 people from the original jury pool (100 or so?) who haven't been questioned. Those 4 will get their chance tomorrow to fill vacant seats in the juror box. The original juror pool wasn't big enough, so they're recruiting additional jurors tomorrow. That should slow down the process a bit.
The judge has been pretty good at granting breaks and speeding things up when possible. Still, the trial is gonna drag out for a long time. I'm gonna need to find a good book for the down time.
