Guilty or Not Guilty?
James looked at the defendant
As a juror he had to listen to the evidence then make up his mind.
A lot of what was being said was just repetitive and oh so boring.
Stifling a yawn it suddenly came to him.
Taking his pen
he filled in the missing word on the crossword puzzle.
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

I can always count on Ake for a little twist..hehehehe
Thank You so much for always playing so cool!!
Have a Great Week-End...G
I hope it's a tough one... those trials can last a real long time. ;)
I hope many sign that petition my friend. What happened to your son was just awful.
Have a wonderful weekend!
yes I've signed the petition too Ak - thanks for letting us know about it.
Saw yesterday a kid in GB got stabbed in the head by a robber- and it didn't hit his brain! Making full recovery...
Clever! (I can never do those crosswords in the paper! Too hard!)
I love doing the twist g-man ;)
Thank's Anndi, I hope lots of people sign it too. :)
I notices your signature on the petition too Flowerpot, thank you for taking the trouble honey. xx
It's just happening all the time Buff, we have to do something! :(
Too hard for me too MOI but MWM can do them pretty quick.
As always you make an interesting story out of a few words...hope you have a fantastic weekend....
You know, unfortunately that's just about the way it goes! Good one!
Sandi
Having just finished a trial a few weeks ago as juror #14, I can totally relate to this 55. Nicely done!
hello there ,, nice posts...
by the way, how did you changed the(comments) to (butterflies have landed?)
If I ever have to sit on a jury, I will probably be doing the same thing!
very cute, ake...you're good w the twists.
i wish i were a brit or ex pat because i'd definitely sign the petition!
p.s. i'm up lol
Guess I have some more reading to do. I haven't seen the petition.
But I've seen your 55, and it unfortunately rings all too true. I think your guy may have been seated for the OJ trial! (Among others...)
Oh well... apparently they don't care what we Colonials have to say. Probably figure we have enough problems of our own (which is true, but still...)
You're very kind RN, I'm pleased you enjoy them. :)
Isn't it just Sandi!
You will definitely know what it's like then Signgirl.
Welcome ghracel nice to meet you. I have answered your query on your blog.
I would imagine some cases can be very boring Linda!
I wish other people could sign the petition Ciara it would certainly swell the numbers.
I think he must have had a very boring case to listen to Mojo! Unfortunately the petition is only open to British Citizens and ex pats. :(
I would sign but I am not sure a Colonist would be permitted .. so know that I support this from across the 'pond'
:-Daryl
hehehe... Trust Crossword to kill time! :D
That was a great twist in the end!
How you do this each week amazes me … but I suppose it’s akin to the way I write Haiku on Fridays ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Wondering if the word was guilty or innocent? haha
OMG…this was FABULOUS!!!!
God…I laughed!
Sharp lady you are!
I always look SO forward to these!
Thanks, Akelamalu!
Have a great weekend, dear lady!
P.S. and can you believe that I've NEVER done a crossword puzzle in my life???
A crossword during jury duty?? For shame!
Good luck with your petition.
Your support means a lot Daryl, thankyou. x
Thanks Mona :)
Yes it is a similar process storyteller.
LOL I never thought of that Jeff!
So pleased you enjoyed it Ron. Really, you've never done a crossword? :0
Shameful isn't it Trav!
Very good, "A." Know just how he feels. I love crosswords. Mama used to work them alongside me when I was a little girl. D
MWM does a lot of crosswords, I'm too take up with blogging Donnetta ;)
I have done jury duty, and I think I encoutered jurors just like this!
I love the twists at then end of your stories. Great job.
I know it happens Citizens, I just don't know how they get away with it!
Thanks KB x
You are so good at this. Quite the expert!
Aw thanks Cath x
