Greta: What Donald Trump and I had in common Monday
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}By Greta Van Susteren
Ok, let's all go "Off the Record." Donald Trump and I have something in common. If you guessed out-of-control hair, wrong answer, and I'm angry with you if that was your first thought, (although I admit my hair can get pretty wild).
But the correct answer is about how Donald trump and I spent our day. We both were on jury duty. He was on jury duty in New York. I was on jury duty here in Washington.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}His entrance to the New York Court sure was different from my entrance to the D.C. Superior Court. His was absolutely wild. The media went nuts. Now, I watched his grand entrance on the TVs in the D.C. jurors' lounge, with about 200 of my fellow D.C. prospective jurors. We were all glued to it.
And now I had hoped to have been picked for a civil trial. But after hours and hours of waiting, I got called to a courtroom looking for a jury for a criminal case, oddly for me, personally, to the very courtroom where I had actually tried many felony cases as a lawyer. In the end, I didn't get chosen for the criminal jury trial, and I can understand why, with my deep background trying criminal cases in that very courthouse.
I might not be the best juror for trial - civil yes, criminal, not so much. But I'm glad I did get called for service, and I urge all of you to answer your jury summons. It's part of being a good citizen. And that's my "Off the Record" comment tonight.
