Well, yesterday was one of two days per year where they pick the Grand Jury........guess who got picked?

They meet the first Monday of each month and the term is for 1 YEAR!

They do pay $20/day instead of $12/day like regular jury duty so if we can be in and out in 45 minutes each time its a pretty good hourly rate. Yesterday we were there for 7.5 hours......thats $2.60/hour.

Thats not too bad, at least it spaced out pretty well. I was on a grand jury once , it was 2 times a week for 6 weeks. same number days I guess but the company I worked for was starting to get a little po'd. although I did get paid .

Its actually pretty interesting because you only hear the prosecutors side of the story. I will almost be willing to bet that EVERYONE you see will get indicted. IApparently some judge in NY was the first to say it but he said a "good prosector can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich", which I would agree. Especially because you only need a majority or something to that effect ( a quorem ??)

Any way have fun!!!
