They called in about a hunert of us, pulled 18 out for the main grilling, grilled and rejected about half of those, replaced them from the remains of the hunert, rejected about half of them, and a few more of the original cohort, stocked ‘em up to 18, winnowed, stocked up, winnowed.
Finally ended up with 12 jurors and 3 alternates and sent the rest of us home.
I never got called up.
They should change the selection process so that you can indicate what sort of trial wouldn’t be problematic for the individual juror. It would save a lot of time.
