I'm just part of the big juror pool right now,assuming I'll get moved to a courtroom for voir dire eventually. https://t.co/oQiQ7VB8PT

As usual Callow has succinct advice. "@publiceyestl Sit near an outlet." Check. pic.twitter.com/QnfertUqZZ

Hiding in corner as judge explains to large juror pool that we get paid only $10 a day. That's #moleg not DC folks.

Just called the names of first panel to go to courtroom for jury selection. #notme

By rough calculation I count 2 knitters, with rest of the about 150 potential jurors divided equally between reading paper & reading screens

Drumroll. Another 60 being called for another courtroom. Hoping I get picked. #feelslikejrhigh

One knitter gone. But not me. Question for Twitter: are they skipping me on purpose?

Boredom is settling over the room. Traffic to vending machines trending up.

Remote person settled on Comedy Central. Not bad, kinda safe choice. But noticed one woman grimacing over off color jokes. #juryroomdrama
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
Panel #3 being called. Just not gonna get my hopes up.
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
OMG. I got called. On my way to courtroom. Yes!
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
Waiting outside courtroom. Not optimistic but happy to at least be on this side of voir dire. It will be interesting.
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
I will go silent once in courtroom. Will update later.
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
Still waiting in hallway. Appears this is a criminal, not civil, division.
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
A lawyer I know just walked by me in hallway, did double take, said hello and "they don't want lawyers" ?
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
Gonna seat us in courtroom, then dismiss us for lunch. Tease.
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
It's a civil case.Voir dire,questioning of jury for selection purposes,after lunch.Question:no matter what can you be fair to both sides?
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
@clairecmc We are all in suspense…what's for lunch? Are there a lot of options for under $10?

@clairecmc any pro tips on how to dress like you're a completely impartial citizen and not a one sided legal mind? #whatnottoweartovoirdire
— Grace Elaine (@GraceElaine1992) January 25, 2016
I recommend dark casual slacks and gray cardigan. #whatimwearing https://t.co/6cZEOvQrCv

Is it weird that I'm desperate to know if @clairecmc is going to get picked for that jury?
— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) January 25, 2016
A little. But no worries. I will let you know. https://t.co/ZUPihm8PE5

@clairecmc Quite the buzz when you got called. Is it weird that I am watching old Perry Mason TV shows while I wait?
— Frank Grimes (@fairlygrim) January 25, 2016
I love Perry Mason! I never missed it when I was a kid. Made me want to be a lawyer. https://t.co/X9IH6ATzx0

Short recess from jury qualification questioning. Can't and won't talk about case. Should know today if I'm chosen.
— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016
HOLY X@#*! I am on the jury. Now must go social media silent re:trial. Don't worry, I'll share after verdict.
