Jury Duty.
I went in for jury duty on Monday and was told to return tomorrow, Wednesday. Its a federal case and I noticed that the jurors are treated slightly different then the jurors who are summoned to the cases at the state level. For one, the Federal court juror waiting area is spacious with wifi while the waiting area in the state criminal courthouse is stuffy and has the jurors packed like sardines. Another shocker was that the waiting room in the federal building welcomed us with complimentary coffee, donuts, fruits, and water. I thought, maybe there is a correlation between the fact that federal cases tend to mostly deal with white collar crimes where as the criminal cases deal with violent or felony crimes. My guess is that there are less jurors in federal cases because. white collar crimes are less likely to be prosecuted then the more obvious violent or felony crimes. Just a thought.
