I sued the accountant I hired last fall,
because he ended up embezzling the last
$3,000 I had in the world. The day
before the trial was to begin, I filed
a blockbuster demand to stay the proceeding,
pending final review of the juror and
voter registrant statutes. In response,
the Justice of the Peace scribbled a
bunch of unintelligible Greek on an
order which I got in the mail today.
Jury candidates and voter registrants
must be federal citizens in Arizona,
just as in the federal Jury Selection and
Service Act!
Bingo!!
This story relates my experience with the
guards at the front door today. The
private security firm I am evaluating
wanted to know the answers to a few
questions, before taking on the case.
Stay tuned!
