Default Cessna sued for skydiving accident. OT rant...

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.
