    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.
