As it turned out, they deliberatley chose jurors from the farthest parts of the county...they WANTED PO'd jurors-And we WERE.
Turned out to be a trial for a repeat offender drug dealer. He was giving the Jury "Attitude" looks. Very discretely, a blue-haired old lady locked gazes with him and drew her finger across her throat. He turned pale. After reflection he pled down, and we all went home.
Actually it was an interesting experience, and the judge was great in the After-trial address to us. When the judge said the perp was going to State Prison, one of the jurors remarked, "They'll be playing the Bridal March there tonight", the Judge struggled valiantly not to laugh.
Oh man that's good!
Could have resulted in a mistrial though.
