Sitting on a murder trial, can't talk about the case, but it's
fun to see the justice system up close.

How worthless are the other jurors?

I got dismissed after I told them I was an engineer. Was kinda excited to see it.

I always say I am trusting the Lord to show me who is guilty and who is innocent. I get struck so quick I get dizzy.

Just had this experience a few months ago. Very interesting experience. Be prepared to be astounded by what you will hear during deliberations. My. case was open and shut to most of us but some of the defendants “peers” were simply not willing to convict. Some arguments were that “she brought this on”, “his son will have to grow up without a daddy”, etc. Unanimous decisions are hard to get to. We finally got to manslaughter after 2 full days of deliberation.

Why is it up to me to decide if someone is guilty?

If I get jury duty again I’m just showing up in a maga hat.

I have federal jury duty in New Orleans next month at some point. First time ever. Not looking forward to it.

Pretty scary to think that average joes get to decide someone's fate. I hate the jury "of peers" system.

Is the defendant wearing his Bama jersey in court?

Are they using the "he needed killin" defense?

What part of "don't discuss the case until the judge tells you," didn't you understand?

You should look up what happened to the Go Judge. This is a terrible, absolutely terrible, idea to post about an active case.

Next time let it be known you are a staunch supporter of the electric bleachers.

You’ll be home by lunch.

You’re welcome.

Would be cool to check it out...if it's a good case.

Ive gotten the letter 3 times. Once I sat around all day and never got called up. Next time I sat around a bit, then they came in and said #s x thru y meet in the foyer as we were going to juvenile court. I went to the bathroom and when I got back they had split the group in half and I happened to walk up to the half they said could go home. The last time I got the letter was a few weeks before shut downs for CV came up, so then I eventually got a letter to not come in.

Be sure to let them know that all your legal expertise is from internet lawyers from this board

I hope one of your fellow jurors says something about or mentions "jury nullification" so yall can see the judge and the prosecutor go nuts and pitch a fit.
