I actually got called in to jury duty this Monday and was pissed about going.  However, it ended up being a decent experience.  What was messed up though, is how f'ed up things are nowadays.  I was chosen for some reason and sat in on an assault case where a supervisor was accused of assault.  In short, he "intimidated" her when she made a request and though not directly involved (he was nest to her direct supervisor) she clenched his fist (which she admitted that he might have a pen in his hand) and he turned red.  However, though, working there for a year after the incident, couldn't sleep and was constantly in fear.  It was admitted that he never raised his voice, made a threat, or made a physical motion in her direction.  There have been no incidents prior to or after of him doing anything else in almost 30 years of working there.  I was amazed that it went this far.  Just wondering what other's thoughts were since it was weird to be in "control" of a case such as this.
