My son has just returned home from court, the case is over now, so he can talk about it, it was actually a Rape case, and they all agreed he was not guilty, too much conflicting evidence, everyone had their doubts.

He will be required again tomorrow, he could get picked for another trial , who know's, it is usually only for one week here.

You get paid 25 dollars per half day, and if you donot go unless you are excused you are liable for a $300 dollar fine.

You have to pay for your own meals, and parking, which is not good around that area, but some transport cost are re-deemable depending where you live and how far you have to go etc.

I think he found the experience quite interesting, but did say it gets a bit boring when, the judge, the prosecutor, the defence all sum up, pretty much the same stuff you have already heard.

An interesting point this rape occurred one year ago, and has only just made it to court, is it like that in the states as well.?
