Hmmmm. If I were a low life terrorist this is the golden opportunity to setup cell phone activated bombs knowing you don't need to do anything to trigger them.

Thanks FEMA!

you just revealed the plot for next week's episode of NCIS.

just wear the present I bought you and you'll be out in under 2 minutes 

If I wear that tomorrow, can you imagine all the MAGA people that will follow me around? no thanks. I'm gonna be surrounded by a building full of lawyers already, and that would just push things over the top for me. Pass.

The WEA test was initially scheduled for September 20th, but was postponed due to Hurricane Florence.

Good to know that emergency weather alerts can be postponed by emergency weather.

I had my phone on vibrate and it almost fell off the table.

The test was successful. I was alerted and I'm still alive.

was in the jury assembly room when the alarm went off. about 200 phones chiming simultaneously. i think the different phone companies need to have the alert in different keys so it'll sound more musical.

got called into a courtroom at 1:30. didn't get inside the actual courtroom until 2:10. judge welcomed us and said there wasn't enough time to begin voire dire so she dismissed us and we're going back tomorrow at 10:30.

one of the authorneys had a couple of california vehicle code books on the desk so i'm guessing via my crack aw.com detective skills that we have a vehicle-related case. it's misdemeanor court, which i'm kinda thankful for.

Tell the Court you aren't sure you can be fair. If the guy refuses to testify on his own behalf, it is probably because (1) he did the crime, or (2) he committed prior crimes and doesn't want to be cross examined. Either way, you will assume he deserves jail time.

we had to go back on thursday morning and the judge told us the case was over. she didn't say what happened or why, but the bailiff told me on the way out it was a case about weed. my guess is that when the defendant saw all 55 of us prospective jurors walking in, it got very real for him suddenly and he decided to accept a plea deal.

i wasn't all that interested in serving this time, so i was going to make sure i mentioned that i work at a christian school, i'm very involved at church, i teacher bible class, etc. but never had the opportunity.

just tell them you love the Run On Contact play and you'll be sent home immediately

repeat after me, "but your honor, they wouldn't have arrested him if he wasn't guilty."

it'd also help if you wore gym shorts and flip flops.
