“All convictions no doubt. :-^)”
No. There was one case with an alleged gun violation where the police never found the imagined gun yet they adamantly wanted to put a man in prison for a non-existent firearm. It took the jury about fifteen minutes to unanimously declare the man ‘not guilty’.
One felony fraud case had us empaneled and then the judge ended up dismissing the criminal charges after *something* was discovered when the jury was out of the room. Never found out why the case was dismissed. We never even heard evidence.
The case I remember the most was 87-164 - USA v. Attarian, et al in which two grifters ran a Ponzi scheme and stole some $90 million from mostly elderly investors. They were guilty as hell and after a three month trial I ended up as jury foreman and we turned in a guilty verdict in about 90 minutes. The US Attorney in that case, Steven Lapham (now a judge) did one hell of a job connecting thousands of details together to show a deliberate pattern of fraud with clear intent.
The other cases were DUI, assault, and etc. and as I recall the verdicts were all ‘guilty’.
You have way more experience with it than I do my friend. My 1st summons resulted in sitting on a jury. Probly because at the time I was in the employ of the DoD. That one came out as a guilty for burglary. Dude got 15 years...wasn’t his 1st rodeo. 2nd summons resulted in sitting in the jury pool all day and then got sent home. 3rd summons is sitting on my desk and is dated for 9/27.....we’ll see.
