Was almost selected for a murder trial. Only went a week. Texas.
Was on a 3 weeker in CA. Assault with a deadly weapon by an ex-felon. Victim, former friend of the accused, was extremely unlikeable. People changing stories. Key witness was one, and she'd since died. Prosecution did a horrible job. Foreman just wanted to rush a guilty verdict. I had taken notes and brought up a bunch of things they hadn't even asked. Voted 8-4 to acquit. Guilty on a lesser charge of possession. One woman would only say "I just think he's guilty." I went out to the location when it ended. It was like Dealey Square.
More recently, I was tossed on a domestic violence case. I would have followed the law, but I did say "It make you think a bit" that she desperately wanted his case dismissed.
Most recently, I spaced on a summons for Jury Duty. Hope I'm not in huge trouble. Over a year ago.
