Taking time to organize the verdict:
I just heard Headline News say two of the women were each married to engineers who work at NASA. I thought I had heard that somewhere before. Engineers tend to marry people like them because they can’t stay married to someone who isn’t organized.
I have psychologically tested a number of engineers, and my first question was, “How is your sock drawer organized?” They eagerly tell me how a pair is put together and how the colors are organized in the drawer. Those men are engineers - everything must fit in its place. I expect the two women jurors married to these two men are also that specific. That takes time.
A man brought his son to register in school - I was a school counselor. He completed the form and when I saw it, I said, “Where are you an engineer?” He said, “NASA but how did you know I’m an engineer?” I said, “Because your writing is definite, printed like a machine and you didn’t leave one space blank, not one and no one does that except engineers.”
If the wife of an engineer is the jury foreperson, I doubt she will skip one line or one word anywhere on those instructions.
