I am back this morning and prepared to field any questions you might have about my jury duty service or the murder case involved.

This is good therapy for me, so fire away.

I'm also exhausted and all my joints hurt (hard floors, hard benches) and I don't want to do any work-work today.

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
I feel like you need a soul hug. - Pippy aka Desparada Oct 18, 06:43 1
- I accept. -- nm - Bayronmax Oct 18, 07:08
What did you eat for lunch every day? -- nm - colin- Oct 18, 06:42 1
- Wednesday - burger, Thursday - club sammich. Lunch was provided by the court. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 07:08
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
