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.

I had the same experience. It was a first degree rape case, which carries a mandatory life sentence in LA. Same ridiculous reasoning and they were on their phones while we were a hung jury. I had to ask them to put them down and pay attention

One of the jurors even said “Uh I voted not guilty but I don’t want to say why”
