Having just completed two weeks of jury duty at Van Nuys Superior Court, I feel qualified to respond to "Jurors Rest Their Case: Long Wait Guilty of Boredom" (Feb. 3).
The vast majority of prospective jurors appear for jury duty because they consider it to be their civic duty.
Obviously they would prefer to spend that time serving on a jury rather than sitting idly, hour after hour, not knowing from one day to the next if one will be off for a day or two to fulfill one's personal responsibilities.
