What can I do now that I'm 18? What new rights/opportunites do I have? What, essentially, is up?

I believe you can register when you're 17, at least in some places, though you obviously can't actually vote until 18.

I did my jury duty, and look forward to the next time I have a chance (in no less than two years from now). It was an excellent experience being impaneled. It reaffirmed my faith in the justice system, and my faith in human beings as a whole. Jurors are capable of coming together and looking out for the greater good, taking the time and effort to look at all the evidence, and ultimately determine whether or not somebody's life is severely impacted as a result of their alleged actions. We convicted, the guy is now in prison (most likely, jurors aren't there for sentencing). I am proud of it.

Out of curiosity, what did the guy do? And if it's too nasty to say here, that's okay. I probably don't want to hear it if that's the case.

You see, while I might trust you on a jury, I'm not certain I trust the jury system in general. A recent study in Australia revealed that in 3/4 cases the jury couldn't even all remember the precise sentences given, let alone precise details of the case. That doesn't strike me as a positive sign for the defense of the greater good.

Drunk driving, with his two little girls in the back seat. Apparently his 5th offense, I found out afterwards, which leads to jail time.

Maybe that's just in Australia? Or perhaps memories fade over time (if they had to remember the sentence, the case was probably long over)?
