    I was recently called to come in for jury duty for the fourth time, my service started Monday. The first time, I went for the two days I was required,theyputmeinajurypool, but they didn't pick me for the jury. The next two times I called the number they gave me to call the night before, and found out that my pool wasn't needed. This time I not only went in,and got put in a jury pool, but they even selected me for a jury. It is a civil case, but I shouldn't say more while it is still going on. Anybody else have any interesting jury duty experiences?

    I've never been called. Has anybody sentenced a man to death before?

    The only time I had it I was at the court house for 35 minutes and then dismissed, which was nice because then I had the rest of the day off.
