Babylon System is a Vampire

The District of Columbia requires that all adult residents who have not been convicted of a felony in the past ten years serve five weeks on a Grand Jury. All cases that go in front of a trial jury (a.k.a. Petit Jury) must first appear in front of a Grand Jury. The Grand Jury must vote to issue an indictment for the case to proceed to jury trial. This might be old news to those of you who watch Law and Order. Thanks to my Grand Jury experience, I now know what a pimp circle is, and what smoking boat means, and a host of other things I'd rather not know.
