so, after listening to all the testimony, arguments, evidence presentation, and jury room waiting...i find out that i'm the alternate juror. this means that i did my best to be an attentive participant in the process but didn't get to be a part of the deliberations. i suppose i should say, those deliberations are going on now and i'm 'on call' waiting to see if i'm needed. sorry...can't talk about the case yet. :)
interesting process.

- after eighteen years in the colorado mountains of earth and stone, i've traded them for the new york mountains of glass and steel. not sure what god has for me here in the midst of auditions and catering but it's a new adventure and i can trust that new relationships, opportunities, and as yet unknown blessings lie ahead.

my respect for the system increased dramatically from my experiences with jury duty.
I also think the "don't tell the alternate juror until the end" is a great idea.
I agree. In rereading my post, I come across a little defensive or that my time was wasted. I don't feel that way at all. The judge was great and I know that I took part in a great justice system.
