Not chosen for the trial

and that's okay with me!

I'm sitting here trying to make sense of what I saw today.  Alcohol seems to have played a big part in the choices a young man made.  Here it is a year-and-a-half later and he will be dealing with those consequences for years to come.  And so will the young woman.

I'm so glad I wasn't chosen to be part of the jury.

Unfortunately I have to check Tuesday evening and see if I am called again for a trial on Wednesday.  I didn't expect that and I'm not looking forward to it.

The last few days I've been pretty uptight and anxious because of the unknown.  Now?  I don't want to participate due to the weight of responsibility of deciding someone else's fate.
