irrational method@vees I feel like for a while I was getting a notice every six months, but never needed to show up. I'm told they don't often select people with engineering backgrounds.
@IrrationalMethod I got picked as an alt for a civil case with the title of software developer. After trial the plaintiff's attorney told me in the lobby that every time he looked at me he noticed me writing something down in my little steno pad which apparently is not typical juror behavior. I recall making a few causal flowcharts and sketches of the garage at issue that I brought up during deliberation. This may have dissuaded him from empaneling any future computer folks.
@IrrationalMethod Just now I went back to read the notes I wrote after the trial was over and boy howdy I did not believe those plaintiffs.
