I had the pleasure of spending the last three days on a jury. Ok, it wasn't a lot of fun. I was simply amazed at the mind set of some of the other people on the jury. I am as conservative as anyone. I am all for law and order. Heck I am even for public hangings. But not if the juries are made up of people like these ones. The case presented had reasonable doubt written all over it in red ink. But 9 of the jurors were of the mind set that it is being brought to trial so the guy must be guilty. They seemed more worried about getting back to their jobs than in doing justice. The attacks on the three of us voting not guilty turned personal. It ended with a hung jury. I feel good about my decision on the case but am left feeling very poorly about the dealing with the other jurors.
