I really wanted to see/be a part of that process.

And just like regular jury duty... I would sure want ME on the jury deciding MY fate.

(This from the guy who turned the only jury he served on from 8 2nd degree murder,
3 first degree, and one manslaughter vote on first ballot --- to 8 first degree, 3 second,
and one manslaughter before we deadlocked).

(on edit) I'm wondering if I MISSED a/some notice(s) before -- I almost missed THIS one.
