There was one guy whose last name was Chavez and he looked darker. But he was definitely born and raised here w/o any spanish speaking skills. One guy was actually born in Argentina; but there was no way to know because he looked white. I've since learned that some people make a living suing other peole. I learned that a neighbor a few houses down from me is/was in the middle of six lawsuits from people who tried to help her. I guess I'd better watch my back.Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490650351284780314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253926672724864012.post-30820081575946118472007-09-10T17:50:00.000-07:002007-09-10T17:50:00.000-07:00Yeah, I'd be chosen in a heartbeat to be a juror i...Yeah, I'd be chosen in a heartbeat to be a juror if I were called in. I am too indecisive...I guess Jake makes up for my lack of opinions :). Anyway, sounds like an interesting case...one that did not need to go to court. Oh well, people are sue happy these days so that case was probably the norm.Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718866968102657869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253926672724864012.post-63186970371304354152007-09-09T21:58:00.000-07:002007-09-09T21:58:00.000-07:00Very interesting... like you said a sad situation ...Very interesting... like you said a sad situation all together. Those families have probably had too much time and emotions put into this. So,was the jury mixed ethnically?

Good thing Jarin was able to watch them for you and get a little dose of what you get everyday. Being a mom is an incredibly hard job but so worth it in the end. Sometimes I wonder if our husbands could handle it everyday :) Anyway, I'm glad the guy who was really at fault didn't win $70,000. People sue over the dumbest things (even when it is their fault).Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385933855633116427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253926672724864012.post-90589053638446962032007-09-07T23:44:00.000-07:002007-09-07T23:44:00.000-07:00Hollie, I've never had to be on a jury.

When you guys were little I was able to claim it as a hardship (which it was) to hire a babysitter and since you've grown up I've been lucky not to have been chosen as a juror. But you make it sound like it was kind of fun and interesting. I guess it depends on what the case is about and how long it goes on for. <BR/>I agree that you will reap the rewards of your sacrifices when the kids are grown up BUT you need time now for you. Too much giving and not enough filling equals one dried out sponge that desperately needs refilling. I think you need to surround yourself with upbeat positive people who you admire. I think you need an outlet during the week. Call me and we'll talk. Love yaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122436572540966152noreply@blogger.com
