Samuel Wright Warning… this article is based on a issue that has me angry… I may use some strong language! It is bad enough when a person abuses a child by beating them or mentally torturing them. These are the common forms of abuse that we are used to, if you can ever truly get used to … Read more
This last week I had the honor of serving on a Jury. I say honor and I mean it with all my heart. Yes… I will also admit that there are parts of jury service that are boring beyond tears. The initial waiting for your panel to be called, then the process of selection where … Read more
