I was summoned for jury duty recently. I was part of a jury pool of several dozen people, and so the odds were low that I would be chosen. In fact, I ended up not even being among those who were questioned. But I did get to sit in the courtroom and observe the whole process of jury selection, from beginning to end.
In addition to those of us who were part of the jury pool, the defendant was there, attorneys for the defendant and the state, a bailiff, and a court stenographer. And, presiding over the entire process, there was the judge.
