Well, I got summoned for jury duty again. OK, civic duty, responsibility of citizenship, I get it.
It's been just over two years since I sat on a jury, and the last time it was at my suburb's local court, for someone fighting a traffic ticket.
This time I'll have to go to downtown Austin, TX for District Court.
What I HATE about going downtown isn't the jury service itself, but that the ignorant nitwits who've been running the city of Austin for DECADES have been building downtown facilities - including the new courthouse - without making ANY provision for parking. In fact, the jury information website smugly declares "No parking is provided for jurors."
I don't know who should be more worried about an irate juror - the prosecution or the defendant.
