jury deliberations

  • T

    AMA - I recently served as a juror on a murder trial. The crime happened within the last five years, and the trial happened within the last six months. I'm happy to discuss anything about my experience except:

    • The exact time and location of the crime
    • The names of the people involved

    Those restrictions are to protect the family members involved in the case, and to protect me in case a family member doesn't like the jurors :|

    Any other question is fair game.

    And I'll answer the most salient question here first: we did find the defendant guilty of murder.

    We got along very well, there was almost no tension at any point of the process, which I'm guessing is unusual. The deliberation didn't go very long, a little over an hour. The forensic evidence was so clearly in contradiction with the defendant's claim of self defense....
