It was one of the most stressful events that I have been a part of. It was very hard to go home to my spouse & kids and not be affected by what I saw/heard at the trial. However, I feel that I did do something of value by being on that jury. Your comment about not being able to doubt law enforcement based on your relationships seems to be a pretty lame excuse. You might trust them, but that doesn't mean they are always right. On the case that I was on, we found the defendant guilty on the evidence provided, although the investigating officers made it much more difficult to do so. They clearly made mistakes - like letting the defendent leave the police station after an interview wearing pants that had blood spots on them the night of the murder - when they realized what they did and went back for them, they had been washed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
