Guilty!

I am still going post a good writeup on my experience in court, impressions of the legal system, etc, etc... But with the move & wedding planning & all that I haven't been able to put my thoughts in writing. But now that the trial is over (the jury finished deliberating last week), I finally went online to see if there were any news stories. I found this one on the local CBS sight (view discretion advised):

Doctor Rosas Guilty

I'll have to check back to see how sentencing went.

The Trial of the Century (scratch that) The Trial of the Week is over

The closing arguments are finished, and the jury is off to deliberate. Because I was just an alternate juror, I don't go into deliberation room, but remain on call. I will wait till the verdicts are delivered before I say anything about the trial (and when I can collect my thoughts in writing, I will have plenty to say). In the meantime, I'm back to working full time for Wells Fargo.

Oh No!!!

Well I really blew it. I managed to avoid being picked to be on the jury, but was chosen as an alternate juror... DOH! So I have to go to court Monday through Thursdays for the next 4 weeks or so. I did talk to the judge about my wedding & she promised I won't miss the big day. Anyway, the timing of this is annoying with all the wedding planning. But I'm thankful work-wise that I'm on duty now when the portfolio is stable and not last summer or fall. At least it should be interesting to sit through a criminal trial & see how the system works.

On another note, here's a couple pictures from the wedding...
