They kept you there for two weeks without a trial? What country?



No, they kept me available for jury service for two weeks.

10:00am: show up at courthouse. Get some free coffee, sit in the juror's assembly room.

12:00pm: Lunch break

1:30pm: Back from lunch.

3:00pm: If courts needed no jurors, go home.

Do that for two weeks, get paid $20 per day by the courts for my time.

Franklin County Municipal Court, Columbus Ohio, United States. While I'm here I urge anyone also in this area to attend jury service if called. The jury commissioner is awesome.
