Yeah, that's right - Scrivener, your faithful It's Rome, Baby! correspondent, has been called upon by the Roman government to serve as a jurist. At the risk of letting hated reality intrude into all the great bubblegum royale upon which our empire is founded, this twist of fate may slow things down for a week or two. Bear with us.
Of course, by the rules one cannot discuss the specifics of said service to the state. As tempting as it might be to court publicity-spawning controversy by flouting the authorities and blogging the assigned case in real time, I will restrict my comments to the following observation from the Minnesota Judical Branch jury handbook, which is entitled All Rise: Jury Service in Minnesota.
(From "The Responsibilities of Jurors" section)
"While serving as a juror, do not drink alcoholic beverages during trial breaks."
Note that trial breaks are the only time that the consumption of alcohol is proscribed.
Further, deponent sayeth not.
