My Chance to be a Juror in a Drug Case

I have an article up here at To the People (in our barren "articles" section) on being called for jury duty last week. Here's an excerpt:

I had jury duty last week. It was the first time I'd even gotten past the initial card-in-the-mail stage to where I actually had to go to the courthouse. Before heading there I distinctly recall telling my girlfriend that whether I served or not would depend on whether or not I would be by chance expected to hear a drug case.

Naturally I would be, I figured. What else do criminal courts do these days? And naturally I was.
Whole thing here. I'm looking for feedback either here in comments or via email.
