I have received several jury summonses in my life, but this was the first time that I actually…read morereported to the courthouse. In the past I've always had reasons to be excused...full time student or moved out of state. I've always heard people complain about jury duty, but I don't think it was that bad. The people at this courthouse make things as painless as possible. I felt that the judges and staff were all pretty amiable and understood that the whole ordeal was an inconvenience to most people. The jury assembly room had padded chairs. I was pretty comfortable waiting in one for about an hour and fifteen minutes. They went through roll call, explained the process, asked if anyone had a legitimate reason they couldn't serve this week, and finally divided us into panels of about 40 people each. The first group of potential jurors had to meet in the courthouse that morning. I was part of the second group, so I had to come back at 2 PM for the voir dire. I left before I heard what the last group was instructed to do. When I returned in the afternoon, I waited outside of the assigned courtroom until someone instructed us to line up in some predetermined order. We filed into the courtroom and took our seats opposite the attorneys for both the prosecution and defense. I was a little surprised to see the defendant in the courtroom, but I didn't know what to expect. After the judge came in and spoke, all of the potential jurors stood up and announced their name, the city they lived in, their occupation, and their spouse's occupation. Next, the attorney's asked various questions to determine if anyone was biased. After a little over an hour of sitting in the courtroom we were all dismissed for 15 minutes while the two teams discussed the prospective jurors and made their decisions. After the 15 minutes, we reentered the courtroom and found out which 12 (plus 2 alternate) individuals were lucky enough to serve as jury members. I didn't get selected and now I don't have to worry about getting summoned for jury duty from the superior court for two years.

Dont let them fool you when they say they have great schools. Take it from me. I went to a Bibb county school and got transferred to Houston county. Houston County Georgia CHEATS on their testing !! That's why their testing scores are so high. I received a study packet from my teachers to study for the big end of the year test. Come test time I noticed ALL of the questions on the test were the exact same ones they put on my study guide. Which I believe they are NOT permitted to open the testing packets until the day of testing. All they care about is football, and it most defiantly shows to the students. I've had enough of Houston County's bullshit. Aside of their shitty school systems. I believe GBI needs to investigate because they are doing many people wrong!!!!!!!
