I just spent my third day in jury service and I can tell you it’s a pretty weird experience. At first I was really excited and thought it would be like you see on NYPD Blues or LA Law. I thought I could be a real Mattlock and crack the case through the little links between evidence and the inconsistences in the defendant’s story. But it wasn’t like that at all. Well, correction, it hasn’t been like that at all so far. We did get a little speech from the judge who said we weren’t here to decide between good and evil, but to look at the facts and try to make an impartial decision about some very particular questions. Man I knew the law was boring but it is really really boring. These guys try to talk to us like they’re our friends, and they’re good at it, but man they are so fake it gives me some pretty evil thoughts at times. I thought I knew some people at work who had a big ego but you should see these lawyers, they can hardly fit their ego in the court room, and that’s a good thing too because there’s enough stuffy talk already without some more garbage. And what about that evil man on trial? I bet he wasn’t think thinking if he a had a choice in his behaviour when he was breaking into that house, like whether his actions were a question of being good and evil at the same time. Or to choose not to do it was good thing, but to do it was a bad evil thing. I know that sounds pretty harsh but I’m just releasing a bit of frustration of having been stuck in that court room for three days.

As a citizen we’re told it’s our responsibility to participate in justice and decide if an action is good and evil, so we should feel like we’re being good for going to court. But they don’t tell you about how boring it is. Or worse, if you had to look at some horrible case with an evil murderer or rapist, how awful that would be to get exposed to the evidence and photographs of what they did. It’s not like I want to save the world or anything grand like that, I just want to do my bit. The food here isn’t that great either. At least we get to stop properly for lunch. Sometimes at work my boss won’t let us have a full hour if there’s a deadline for something and I think that’s really unfair. I don’t think you can look at your boss from a perspective of good and evil like you can in the jury, but I still think some pretty evil thoughts about him sometimes. I hope I don’t let thoughts like that into my mind when we start having to make some real decisions because that wouldn’t be good. I guess I can only do my best and trust in the system that between us all we make a good job of it.
