Great write up. During the trial did the defense get into how the assault law was applied?Seems like they could’ve hammered how it shouldn’t have applied to clerk b. Bet they were an overworked public defender?

When I served last summer, during a break in deliberations I was so frustrated I called a friend to scream that these people, my peers, are fucking idiots.

The law in my case was way more clear, and our instructions were very succinct. Half of the jurors were dimwits who wanted to go into ‘what if ’ situations, specifically not allowed.

Serving on a jury is such a great experience as well as a simple basic duty. Glad you did.
