The Jury Has Reached a Verdict

I was on Jury Duty.  It ended today.  It was one of those child molestation cases between a Grandfather and his granddaughters.  UGH!!!

Fortunately, the evidence supported a guilty verdict, so justice was served. But the feeling it left me with will last a lifetime. While I've always wanted to do my civic duty, this wasn't how I saw it going down.

My heart is heavy for the victims of this case. I can only hope that they have a happy thanksgiving knowing that they have been heard, acknowledged and the evidence supported their testimony.
But scars like theirs will take awhile to heal.  The scars of this case will stay with me.
