Jury duty is not like TV



 Jury duty is not like TV. 



This is a sad disappointment.

The ways in which jury duty is not like TV:

* There are no handsome, young, attorneys.



* There are no handsome, young, CSI's.

Where for art thou, Nick Stokes?

* The judge never bangs the gavel. I'm not even sure there is a gavel.

* There are no amazing 3D holographic reconstructions. Of anything.

* Instead there is an overhead projector





* There is no  music to help you understand when the bad guy enters. Or when a moment is important.

* There are not nearly enough breaks for snacks.

* You can't leave, even to pee!





* The chairs are uncomfortable.

* If you fidget, everyone turns to stare at you.

* The bailiff is not funny.






* And the worst part - we are not wrapped up in 30 minutes.

  2. I still maintain to this day that if I ever find myself in legal trouble, I want Jack McCoy to be my lawyer.
