I was called to jury duty and while I was waiting and waiting I was paying my bills, going through my mail that I brought with me. I always donate money to animal rights groups, shelters, etc. When I heard the case was about 3 people abusing dogs I got VERY angry. When the judge asked if I could be fair and impartial I told him, "NO". He asked why and I told him I was already against them and I was sent home.
