Girl Feeling Cheated After Jury Duty Turns Out To Be For Some Lame White-Collar Shit

Kate Swan may be the only person ever to get excited about being called up for jury duty.

In bucking the Australian trend, she hasn’t even attempted to make up an excuse to get out of it.

However, Kate’s excitement was shattered into a thousand tiny pieces after the case she has been assigned to turned out to be some bullshit white-collar crime and not the gritty sex or underworld crimes she’d hoped for.

“I’m so off it! This is nothing like Law and Order.”

“Or legally blonde!”

“Or Suits.”

“This is the shittest thing ever, and now I’m stuck here,” she moaned.

Kate’s boredom and disappointment are definitely justified, as the case she’s been assigned is a run of the mill assault defamation between two rich cousins in a local family.

Kate couldn’t go into detail about what she had heard as a juror so far but explained that she wasn’t having fun.

“There are just so many things I don’t understand about this case.”

“They’re both guilty in my eyes, I just want this to end.”

These cases typically draw out due to the stubbornness and idiocy of both parties, and as Kate is only in the first recess of the first day, it’s looking like it will be a long week.

More to come.
