And so, I'm released.

kyburgIt was a criminal case, involving the refusal to take a chemical test for sobriety at a checkpoint - at least, that's as much as I got, and I'm damn glad I got released.
I did not want to sit on that jury. This was one of those times when Self said "you know too much to be impartial" and I said as much.
Both Jim and I are the kids of ER nurses. Jim still works in hospitals.
I have a ton of directly-related family with substance-abuse issues.
And some dumbass wouldn't take a breath-alyzer or a blood test when he got caught DUI.
Oops. Bias showing.
So glad I can go back to my life and so on - but so help me, I'd rather sit a murder case than one involving intoxicated drivers. Lesson learned for today.
(Of course, I'd be dismissed on a capital case immediately - I'm against the death penalty and won't apply it to anyone.)
Sleep tonight good. Yay.
