Creepy

Last week I had the "honor" of being called in for jury duty. I arrived at the courthouse Monday morning at 8:15 a.m. and was sent to one of the courtrooms (along with about 50 other jurors) to wait for a courtroom assignment. While waiting over an hour and a half for our assignment, a very creepy looking guy walked into the courtroom (think Edward Scissorhands). He walked to the bailiff's area in the back corner. He looked around the bailiff's area as if he was in search of something. A lady behind me commented that he must work there. I thought to myself there was no way, but didn't say anything. Fast forward to Monday evening. I was at home listening to the evening news while doing paperwork. The top story on the news was about a defendant in a trial who had run away from the courthouse Monday morning during a smoke break. I look up at the TV and it's a picture of the creepy looking guy! A warrant had been put out for his arrest for running away from his trial. I still wonder what he was looking for in the bailiff's area. Was he looking to see if there was some sort of weapon? Pretty scary!
