Day-5 of my Jury Duty! Bueller? Bueller? Hello?
Jury Assembly Room
As you can see, almost all the jurors were excused for the week. Many have served and are done with their assigned cases. Some potential jurors didn’t even get called. It’s all random. So there is a strong possibility that you will get sent home if there are no cases to be had.
Aside from the typical 12 jurors needed to serve, judges will normally have two alternate jurors. This is done just in case one of the 12 jurors are unable to fulfill their duty to the courts/case.
Jury box action shot
This is exactly what happened to us this morning. Juror #3 was out so Alternate juror #1 dropped right in the slot. Alternate jurors listen to the entire case and can easily slide into a main juror slot at anytime assigned by the judge.
Also, I couldn’t pass up a grand view of Tower City Center looking so stately in the sunny Cleveland daylight.
Tower City Center – 2015
If you get assigned to Jury Duty, bring your camera. Chances are, you’ll see some spectacular views of downtown #CLE.
BTW-Yesterday, the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Courts’ Cleveland APL Mobile Unit Program to bring puppies every other week so that jurors can play with them during their lunch break on Thursdays. Superb idea! Sadly, I had to catch up on a few emails so I didn’t have time to play with the puppies.
For our specific criminal case? Deliberations are still ongoing so it’s not over yet!
Shhhhh! Trying to deliberate!
Main question in the deliberation rooms are guilty vs not guilty. That’s it. In these courts, the jury does not decide punishment – that’s only grand jury cases.
The judge explained in detail, the laws pertaining to the case. He reviewed all four counts in detail, gave definitions, and reminded us again that for our criminal case, we only decide guilty or not guilty on each of the charges.
So yes, if you can register to vote, you do possess the skills to be a juror!
Gotta get back to deliberating. I’m definitely earning my keep this week doing my civic duty!
Reporting live from the deliberation room…
Holy jet!
I think I just won a contest thanks to social media.
Now where should I go. Hmmm…
Standby for details!
