Reply to Jury duty experience in Worcester? by lcatlow

I got called a few years ago for a murder case. I didn't try to get out of serving. I waited in the jury pool for about 2 hours. Then got called into the courtroom and was asked a few questions by the prosecution and the defense. I was picked for the jury and was told to report back for the trial the next Monday morning. I was pretty excited and was going to go out of my way not to look up any information on the case and give this guy his fair right to his day in court. Monday came around and we waited and waited, finally the judge came in and told us she was dismissing the jury and the trial would restart with a new jury in a few weeks. Turns out the star witness for the prosecution refused to show up for court. I was disappointed because it sounded very interesting. Once I read about the case online, I knew they wouldn't find the guy guilty. Turns out I was right.

Reply to What’s the point of the airport if the flights are always going to get cancelled? ORH to JFK flight this morning cancelled. by gm33

I had a morning JetBlue flight cancelled a couple years ago due to not selling enough seats. They did me the "favor" of rescheduling to an early evening flight out of Boston. So now I have to take the commuter rail for 2 hours and lose almost an entire day at my destination. Thanks.
