JURY DUTY

IT WAS SALLY’S FIRST TIME GOING FOR

JURY DUTY AND SHE WAS A LITTLE

BIT APPREHENSIVE.

“I WOULD JUST LIKE YOU TO KNOW”

SAID SALLY AS SOON AS SHE WAS

IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE

“THAT I FEEL VERY STRONGLY

THAT CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS

MORALLY UNJUST AND INCORRECT.”

“THAT’S OK ,

SAID THE JUDGE

“CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS NOT A

POSSIBILITY IN THIS CASE

SO IT’S PERFECTLY FINE FOR YOU

TO SERVE ON THIS JURY.”

“WHAT’S THE CASE ABOUT?”

ASKED SALLY.

“WELL MRS. SMITH IS FILING A SUIT

AGAINST HER HUSBAND FOR

GAMBLING AWAY THE MONEY

SHE HAD SAVED FOR REMODELLING

HER BATHROOM”,

REPLIED THE JUDGE.

“ALRIGHT”

REPLIED SALLY

“I’LL SERVE ON THIS ONE,

I MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT

THE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

THING AFTER ALL.”
