Lake Lewisia #337

[scrubjayspeaks]

The Marguerite County courthouse handled jury summons for a large area, but the employees could always tell when they had pulled in Lewisia residents, as soon as they stepped into the jury assembly room. The bailiffs had to convince the occasional flighty, hand-wringing sort that no, the odd folks congregated in the corners did not have any weapons or signs of ill-intent, no matter how peculiar their mannerisms. Judges knew that any who made it onto jury panels could be counted on to ask questions and for bizarre clarifications, but they also privately agreed that Lewisians seemed to steer their fellow jurors farther along the arc of justice.
