Janet Reno, the country's former chief prosecutor, was called to a far humbler position Monday: She reported for jury duty in Miami.
Reno, also a former Miami-Dade state attorney, was among a pool of jurors on a robbery and aggravated battery case.
"I did it because I think it is important that everyone responds," Reno told The Associated Press.
The former U.S. attorney general survived the initial round of questioning: No, she's never been arrested. Yes, she knows many police officers and prosecutors.

Defense attorney Rod Vereen said Reno would certainly be a fair and impartial juror but doubted if his client would want her on the case.
