Lucky 18

Seat number 18 proved to be just good enough. They filled the jury, including two alternates with seat 17. It was a civil eviction suit where a corporate landlord evicted a tenant. The tenant/defendant was representing himself. And, from what I saw and heard during jury selection, I knew more about the process than he did after my many opportunities of jury duty over the years. While it likely would have been interesting and intertaining, I was really relieved not to have served and to get back to work.
