UD got a letter, a few days ago, from the US District Court, District of Maryland, telling her that she is under consideration to serve as a federal juror.
On the assumption that political corruption in Maryland is as frisky as it is in New York, UD would love to be chosen (she probably won’t be because professors – or is this an urban legend? – are unpopular among those who select jurors), to decide a naughty boys trial. As you know if you’re a regular reader of this blog, UD is fascinated by corruption.
As you also know if you read UD regularly, UD owns a house in New York – a house one hour away from Albany, where Sheldon and his buddies ran the show until they had to go to jail. This proximity to Albany has had UD fantasizing about how amazing it would have been to be one of the jurors on Sheldon’s case – Sheldon, the pride of Yeshiva University…

I know lots of profs who have ended up on juries, so your dreams live, UD.

It’s a start.

Bill R: Yup. And actually, depending on the way you count, there are rather a lot more than that – if you go back a few years to the guys still rotting after having been found guilty years and years ago. Altogether a satisfactory situation. Although I’m sure plenty of others should be in there too.
