I know I must be insane, but I'd love to get jury duty. My uncle was on a federal grand jury for a while and told me the most interesting stories (what he could tell, anyways). I wonder sometimes where they get juries when someone does a heinous crime and gets barely a slap on the wrist. A friend of my family was murdered 10 years ago and the guy who did it got maybe 10 years, even though he had a rap sheet as long as your arm. It was totally premeditated and in cold blood (motivation was robbery) and it definitely disturbed the city because he was only 16 and was a "model" person. I think it would be interesting to be involved in the pursuit of justice. If it can even be found, that is.
