Last week Aimee fulfilled her civic duty by serving as a juror on a criminal trial.
She called in for duty each day the week before and was told not to report. But on Friday she was summoned to the juror pool and ended up getting selected for a case that was set to begin the following Monday.
The trial lasted just two days, a simple assault case with no witnesses other than the two drunks who were involved. In the end there wasn't enough convincing evidence to convict and the jury voted to acquit.
Aimee was Juror #10 and she was selected by her fellow jurors to be the foreman. Naturally, she did a great job and yesterday she got her reward: a check from the county for $36!
