This is the same judge that when after the jury pool was asked if we new
any of the lawyers or principles in the case and I answered "Yes, your
honor, I play golf with the defendant's lawyer as I often play with you."
He said, "Yes, Mr. Giacona, I've seen you allegedly play golf and I've
seen you lie on a score card but you weren't under oath so I won't hold
that against you."

I did a week once, and sat for two days, and finally got called for
interviewing for one case, which was a drunk driving case. The problem was
that the arresting officer was a good friend of mine.

The lawyer was told in a whisper that the police officer knew me, and asked
if I could be impartial, even though I knew the officer, and I said that I
would judge the case on its merits, to which the lawyer said that might be
hard since I was only human, and asked for me to be excused from that case.

I was finally seated on a medical incompetence hearing, and that was it for
the week.

Most of the time I was just trying to stay awake. Boring, to say the least.
