      - Its simply a DJT win if this horror scenario happens. -- nm - Jovian Oct 18, 08:42
    - it could go 350-188 for Harris and you will get a year of stolen election nonsense. -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 07:36 14

        I'm not so sure about this. Even if it's full on Civil War? - Inigo Oct 18, 08:37 3
        
        If Harris wins, I do not expect the Justice Department under her to be even remotely as feckless as Biden's has been. -- nm - Jovian Oct 18, 08:43 2
        
        yeah, i think she's much tougher. -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 08:53

        i really don't think he's alive in 4 years. Or, if he is he'll be in some nursing home somewhere. I assume either option will trigger more conspiracy - Andie Oct 18, 07:49 1

I am back this morning and prepared to field any questions you might have about my jury duty service or the murder case involved. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 06:26 21
- how many times did you count the number of visible tiles on the floor? what was the silliest nickname you came up with for someone in the - tRuMaN Oct 18, 08:30 1
  - No silly nicknames, but I did note several celebrity resemblances among all the participants. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 08:40
- How did you find the lawyers? I was supremely unimpressed with both the prosecution and defense the time I was on a jury. - Volnelk Oct 18, 07:06 2
  - Prosecution was very strong. Defense was not. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 07:16 1
    - We found out after the fact from the judge that it was our prosecutor's first trial at the federal level and everyone just nodded. Made sense. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 18, 07:39
- Question for the lawyers: In future voir dire, if Baron says he already served on a murder trial and doesn't want another, would they exclude him? -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 18, 06:50 3
  - Given the outcome of this, prosecution would be on my like a shot, and defense would need to use a peremptory challenge to strike me. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 07:11 2
    - Meanwhile, Chicago just cancelled their contract with Shot Spotter -- (link) - oblique Oct 18, 07:13 1
      - It's expensive for sure, but was really useful here. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 07:20

- What degree murder was it? What was the one most conclusive piece of evidence to you? -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 06:41 1
  - Murder two, but we believe that was only because the prosecution didn't think they could prove murder one. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 07:06
- Can you tell us about the process when making the decision? - Andie Oct 18, 06:32 1
  - The guilt decision was easy. We were all immediately in agreeance. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 06:58
- did the defense point to the door and say "so and so isn't really dead and they will walk through the door right now!" -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Oct 18, 06:29 1
  - No, but that would've been more effective than their actual defense, which was basically none. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 06:45
- What was the most interesting thing you learned about the judicial system during your service? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 18, 06:29 1
  - Trials move much faster than expected. Voir dire is such a slow and tedious process you anticipate the same slog, but that wasn't the case at all. -- nm - Bayronmax Oct 18, 06:44
