This Spring I had the rare opportunity as an attorney to be seated on a jury (much to my surprise as well as the judge's surprise). We went through the instructions and the evidence before we ever took a vote. By the time we finished the discussion we were unanimous. Serving on a jury changed by perspective for the better on how serious jurors take their obligations.
the only one iheard only said he would not be surprised if they took aninitial vote, just to see where everyone is. not that they absoutely would.
