Three trials, three weeks

I am currently waiting on a jury in a 2 count burglary case. This marks the end of the third case I've tried in the three weeks of this trial calendar. First was that Armed Robbery I mentioned, then an Aggravated Assault (self-defense claim), finally this Burglary is the only one left to come in.

Jury selection had some humerour moments. One older juror was asleep during general questioning. I actually called him out on it too. "Juror number nine? ... Juror number nine? You need to try to stay awake sir, these are some important questions." The Judge told us later that he had never seen an attorney call out a juror for sleeping. We all had a good laugh.
