I got my summons, went to the county courthouse on the day and date to learn what I would be doing and when. Which was a two week stint as an alternate juror on the grand jury starting three days after the summons. Among the cases I would have decided should or should not go to trial, a clear case of homicide involving juveniles, a clear case of self defense against an attempted home invasion, a disturbing instance of a consensual adult/child interaction, and on each of the two Fridays, a whole bunch of drug related crimes. Any of us alternate jurors had to leave the room while the nine grand jurors voted to have cases go to trial.
This was in 2014.
