I recieved early release from the New York penal system. As I noted earlier, I had jury duty today, which normally lasts 3 days. However the guy came in after like 3 hours and says that they are letting us out of the whole thing. Apparently there weren't many cases to begin with right before 4th of July and everyone else settled (this was civil court).
Hot.
I have to hand it to the legal system here. They do have their shit together. As much as jury duty is still a chore, they make at least an effort to distinguish it from the DMV -- and at least partly succeed.
