Good morning! I am so tired. We finished the flooring and new toilet in the bathroom! Finally! We worked on it Sat and Sunday. It looks amazing. I just need to paint the beadboard and mouldings. I am hoping to get that finished this week. I will put up some pictures when itās finished.
Haha I wish! He had to mow up all the leaves before dark. I raked for two hours putting them into rows to help. We had homemade chili instead!
Good luck! Hopefully it will end today!
It sounds rough....I've never served on a jury before, but I've never understood why they don't let you take notes. Maybe when you are in deliberation and you are discussing the case, other people will remember the things you don't? I'm sure it's exhausting, mentally. No wonder you're tired! Long days, stress, etc...

Short answer is a transcript (word for word) readback is far more accurate than notes which can be mistaken or interpreted differently. Judges in general also want your full focus on thee trial not in a notebook
Sympathy like and I hope you got a good deal
Have a safe and wonderful trip!!
I have to go back in again tomorrow at 10:15. These late starts are what's killing us. I am hoping we wrap everything up before lunch and deliberate after lunch. 
We have had no trick or treaters so far. I am bringing this candy into court with me tomorrow--I don't want it all hanging around. LOL
So sorry! Hoped it had ended today.Hello-
I did an hour of yoga early this morning. I didn't have to be at court until 10:15--yes, the trial is still going on! Yesterday, one of the lawyers decided to be a donkey while questioning a witness. This ate up a lot of time. This lawyer's behavior was very juvenile. Do lawyers think belittling a witness looks good? So, we didn't wrap up yesterday. We started court at 11 today, went to lunch at noon, came back from lunch at 1:30 and waited for the judge to summon us to the court room. Instead, he sent us home. So, we didn't wrap up today, either.
I put my little costume on when I got home though. I painted an egg on a t-shirt and I wear it with devil horns.
Hello-
I did 30 minutes of yoga when I got up this AM. So, we wrapped it all up today. I was relived when we went into deliberation, because I was worried people wouldn't have the conclusion as I did. At times throughout the trial, I felt like we did. I think it was because we were all joking around about how badly we wanted to be able to discuss the case, but you never know until deliberation. It turns out we all felt the same way. Our decision was unanimous and we all had the same issues with one party's case. I feel it was the correct one and I feel like justice was served.
I met some nice people and I exchanged phone numbers with a few of the jurors. Our jury attendant commented on how well we all got along. We went to lunch together and chatted with each other during our breaks. She said a lot of jurors don't get along. The only negative for me was the cost of getting to and fro, otherwise, it was a positive experience. The people who worked at the courthouse were so much nicer than I expected them to be. That being said, I am in no rush to do it again.
Oh I'm so glad it wrapped up, and that you all agreed! That's so nice! It must have been a pretty quick deliberation! And are you free to talk about it now if you need to relieve that stress? Like...can you tell your husband about it, or a friend, etc? Or is it still confidential?Hello-
