What bothers me about any jury is based on personal event. I was foreman. In my mind, the state had not made its case. It was blatant. I asked the panel, who believed the most the defendant was guilty. Afer a three day trial, one old lady looked up and said I do. I said please point to the evidence. Her answer: He looks guilty!!!!!!
12 hours later the vote was 11-1 not guilty...guess who was the hold out.
I was a foreman on a murder trial once too. In our case a guy killed another because of $400 worth of bad cocain. The guy who did the killing was 41 years old and had spent more of his life in some sort of a correctional facility than he had spent out.
We found him guilty and sentenced to life without parole in 45 minutes. First vote was 10 to 1. Second vote was 11 to 0.
