As the murder trial of Atlanta attorney Claud “Tex” McIver opened its third week of testimony, Fulton County Chief Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney announced he, too, has been summoned for jury duty.

McBurney told jurors—one of whom he had just finished chastising for repeatedly showing up late—that he and, by extension the other judges, “are not exempt from that.” The judge even stood up and displayed his summons for the jurors.
