Called Out.

Well, it happened. After having only one group of jurors called in the morning, things seemed strangely quiet after lunch. Then around 2:00 a group was called. A sigh of relief was breathed as the guy in the corner who had been chattering loudly and ceaselessly to some poor half interested soul about all the gory injuries that he had witnessed in his lifetime heard his name and left. Then a few minutes later another group was called. Another sigh of relief went up from those still present. Then a few minutes later my name was called. Darn. We headed to the 7th floor and met our judge. This morning at 9:30 we will begin jury selection. My only hope at this point is to be pulled out. We shall see.
