Jury Duty Day 4

Just like yesterday look at your class pages for your assignment.

Today in court:
There was more testimony today with one side wrapping things up and now the other side will continue tomorrow.  Im being vague because I have to be legally, we can talk more after it is over.  I will be in on Friday so we can get things settled back into the normal routine.

Jury Duty Day 3

Hello guys, look on the pages for your grade to find your assignment for today.  Take your time and anything that needs to be written please do so in your notebook.



Today in court:
Testimony started yesterday and it is a very interesting process.  Its a very big task that I and my fellow jurors have ahead of us.

Jury Duty Day 2

Today you will be finishing the Jury Duty worksheet from yesterday.  Once you have that complete then you can work on either step 3 or 4 in your notebook.  Look for a new assignment on Wednesday.

Now here are the details of what Im going through:
I went through all of the questioning that you saw in the video yesterday.  After about 2 hours I was selected for a civil case.  Legally I cant not tell you guys any more than that until the case is over.  The video today will show a little more about what I will be witnessing while in court.  This is a civic duty that you will all be asked to do at some point later in life.

Small interesting fact:  the county court house in Newton was built in 1765 but gutted by fire in 1847.  The main parts of the building are still what you see when you go into Newton today.  I'm going to be sitting in a building thats almost 150 years old!  Check out the site below for a history of the building.


Oh yea and all tests/quizzes have been postponed until I return, which is on Friday.
