Jury Duty!

So I had jury duty this morning in Pendleton at the court house for a one day trial. We where due to start at 10:30am but they had a plea change going on in the court room that we needed for our trial. The judge came in stated that he was sorry for the wait but this was a murder trial with 3 defendants that where changing the plea to guilty from not guilty so these thing could take a little longer then they had anticipated. So with 30 people crammed into jury room 224 we sat and waited and waited and waited then at about 11:40am the judge comes back in and tells us that the man whom we where going to listen to his case had a change of heart and changed is plea to guilty. So the good news I did not have to sit in the court room and listen to the case at hand (drug charges) and we all got paid for today and I will not be eligible for circuit court for 2 years now. I have to say I was nerves about this I have never had jury duty before and did not know what to expect. I am extremely happy that I did not have to serve on a long trial with our upcoming trip to Pullman for Buster. It all turned out good and I got to learn something for today. So what did you learn today that you did not know before?
