I must admit that I found Grand Jury interesting - 23 people, you need 12 to indict. 16 must have been present for all testimony to vote (most days we had all 23) -4 week term (my boss paid) - Gran Jurors get treated a bit better than regular jurors, as they KNOW you are going to be there for quite a while (special GJs around here can sit for 6 MONTHS - but only 2-3 days/week)

There is NO juror selection for GJ in this county - you are called, and if you don't have health/chaildcare or financial reasons you can't serve - your ON - no other questions - and if your company pays, that is considered "no financial reasons" - I think we lost 2-3 candidates out of the pool, otherwise it was "first 23 through the door" (actually we had 3 GJs start the same day, so it was first 69 through the door) - we had research scientists, scrub nurses, retired folks, bookkeepers, teachers, programmers, etc
