Damn!  I got picked, and sat through the voir dire questions before they sent us off to lunch. Should have said crazy/retarded shit like a couple other people did to get out of it.

'IF HES HERE HES GUILTY! '   She gets to go home, I have to stay.

Because you're smarter than she is.

You both know "if he's here he's guilty" is true - but you know enough not to say it out loud.   :ph34r:

:D   it's a competency hearing, or whatever it's called. My phone is not liking being in the courthouse.

No, because she is acting in her own interest and not the prosecutor's.

But the prosecutor's interests ARE your interests.  We only want what is best for society. :)

What's best for society is to lock up a woman for 20 years for firing a shot in the air?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Maybe it's best for society that he's put away, but it's best for "he's guilty" lady that MBM puts him there for her.  ;)

Cool. They decided while we were at lunch that dude was competent to stand trial after all. On the way home already, and I didn't even have have to fake a seizure or anything.

What was the dude alleged to have done?

They never said.  All they told us was that they were criminal charges and we were there to decide if he was competent to go on trial.

That would drive me crazy.  I hate not knowing the full story.

Women are always cold. You would know this if you actually managed to sleep with some :P

Mine is always hot.  She would like the house to feel like a meat locker.

I keep the thermostat at 77 when we are home, 84 when we are not.  She equates this to torture.

She's right.

She's right.

When the temperatures outside get into the 90s regularly, 77 is pretty comfy.
