(Yes, this was the actually Court room)
I answered the summons to serve as a Juror today. It was in the Municipal Court to decide the case of someone who did not wish to just pay the fine. His contestment went before the jury I was later chosen to be the Presiding Foreman of. It was over a speeding ticket. I found it rather interesting the 'facts' behind the Radar gun. Seems it is the Targeting Officer's judgement call between speeding vehicles and the re-shooting of his calibrations off the cuff; radars pick up the closest, largest and fastest objects, but the Cop has choice of distance. The driver was 'voted' Guilty: $200.oo Fine. Facts not personal.
