I have been terrible at taking vacation days, and I desperately need to take time off (Between vacation hours and 'Time Off awards' I now have 578 hours of vacation saved up) I had planned to take off a couple of weeks and travel a little starting May 4th- I had a narrow window of time to take off between deadlines, and then got this summons for the 5th...sigh...

I also received a small paycheck from the state. As it was, I sat downtown and watched movies for two weeks. Every trial I was listed for was plea-bargained to settlement. It was a nice break away from work. The company I worked for considered it a paid leave — for the first two weeks. I also received a small paycheck from the state.

People vs. LaValle

I went through 2 or 3 rounds of juror selection for that case as I was desperately trying to finish my thesis…

Even the jury selection was emotional, one of the other men called had been a high school teacher of the victim… he did not hold back about what he thought about the accused… he was excused, of course….
