Jury Duty

I was summoned for jury duty on Monday. I was seated today as fourth in line for a criminal case. First time that I haven't been let go on the first day. In the courtroom the judge introduced the attorneys and asked if any of us was related to or knew personally the attorneys. Then he introduced the defendant and asked the same question. Then he introduced the plaintiff -- ditto.

Then he asked if there was any reason that any of us could not be unbiased as a juror in the trial. I said, "I don't know if can be unbiased if I don't even know what the charge is." The lawyers and the judge (a friend who sits across the aisle from us at church) looked shocked (as if no one had ever asked that question before), and the lawyers immediately ran up to the bench. After some whispering, the judge said that I was dismissed from this trial and told me to go to the jury room.

An hour later I was dismissed. I wasn't trying to get out of jury duty, but we swore that we would answer all questions truthfully, and I couldn't truthfully say that I would be unbiased if the case had to do with a crime that had been committed against my family or that I have strong opinions regarding, such as our home invasion or my brother's death due to being run over by a drunk driver.

Neither the Prosecution or the Defense wanted to use one of their strikes on you so the judge told you to split!

I would have asked the charges too - in Fulton, I think they tell you prior to the questioning of the jurors.

This is the Coweta County Circuit. I really did think that it was weird that we weren't told what the charge was. I'll ask my friend the judge at church on Sunday if there was an accidental omission of that info.

The person sitting two seats away from me was a lawyer that I know. We were both on the Board of Directors at the private school that my daughter attended. He didn't ask what the charge was.

:funn::funn::funn::funnh. my. god.

went to wrightsville beach today. could definitely hang there, but just a tad too crowded for my liking.

I really can do without tornadoes. Being stuck in the bathroom at McAlister's Deli as small buildings fly by is really not fun. 90,000 without power here so I won't complain because mine is back on.

I have that McDonald's ditty in my head!

is it me or does it seem one person is going back and forth with theirself.:funn:

this is an A, B conversation, C your way out.(sorry i've been hangin out with a 14 year old)

My new obsession

Daughter is taking a religion course. She is really enjoying it because the adjunct professor has a fresh approach. For example, apparently Jesus was a holy (pun intended) terror as a child.

She and I both are into numerology. She asked me if I knew anything about the number 153 because the prof asked about it in class. NEITHER OF US KNEW ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT NUMBER. It’s the number of fish caught in the book of John.

But it is so much more. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/153_(number).

For example, 153 = 1! + 2! + 3! + 4! + 5!. Also 153 = 1 cubed + 5 cubed + 3 cubed.

153 is my new obsession (that plus finding orange Tory Burch flip-flops in size 9 -- OMC 1+5+3 equals my shoe size ). Jesus (pun intended)! How as a Ph.D. mathematician did I miss this number?

..I love seeing numbers drive you as crazy as they drive me! (of course, in a different way! )

BR - very cool! What else have you uncovered??

I am glad someone shed some light on that post. I was confused and still so.

Well, I coded the algorithm in that link in C#. It works.

Of course, my other mathematical obsession is the Fibonacci series Fibonacci Numbers, the Golden section and the Golden String.

I think Big D is. When he sneezes, my collections of Maiolica and Meissen rattle.
