    Sitting as a Juror on a murder trial

    Trial started this Monday....it involves an exotic dancer and her five boyfriends. One of them was gunned down 10 years ago....leading to her and one of the other boyfriends’ indictments last fall. Things are starting to get interesting now with all the crazy witness testimony. It is very doubtful that the "boyfriend" is going to take the stand though.

    FIVE guys after ONE POA??

    Then one of the "boys" gets gunned down

    Sounds like a Rap song!!
    Wonder if the "dancer" is our old Torrance Marshall girlfriend??

    BTW Freak..

    My condolences to you.. I was on a murder jury about 5 years ago, fairly small town, local girl shot by "out of town gangsta girlfriend" claiming self defense.

    Man, was it ugly... deliberations for 8 days!

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    No gunplay though. Just wanted to make that clear.

    When picking the jury, they didn't ask if anyone had ever had multiple significant others at the same time?

    I was on jury duty once a couple of years ago. It was a guy accused of aggravated assault towards his gf. Found him not-guilty. Deep down, I think maybe he was, but the evidence was simply not there.

    Speaking of murder trials though, I am sooooooooooooooooooooo sick of the Steven Avery trial. I'm sure others in this side of the state know exactly what I'm talking about. Might be wrapped up by Fri after 6 weeks of going on......

    Should you be discussing any part of this trial? I thought jurors were supposed to keep absolute silence about any part of the trial while it was in progress.

    You are supposed to avoid all media about the case and if anyone starts to bring the subject up you are supposed to stop them or walk away....all the things I have stated about the case have been known to the public for years here.

    But you are correct, you are not supposed to talk about it...with anybody. Not the other jurors, spouse....whoever.

    I'll stop now.....

    Not only was I on a jury about 8 years ago, they vote me as the jury foreman. That was fun trying to keep the peace in deliberations and trying to get a concensus.

    I have never been a juror despite voting in all elections. It is my understanding they take potential jurors from voters' lists.

    I was called to jury duty once but was disqualified because I had moved to a different county the month before.

    My wife is baffled by my "luck" because she has served on juries four times in two different states since we have been married.

    Every other year I get called.

    The best one was a child molest of a "mature" 15 year old who was the babysitter.

    First asked to model a company T-shirt for a photo then asking for the shirt to be removed and taking a photo.

    Yes, that constitutes child molest in California.
    Spousal abuse can occur with no physical injury.
    DUI is .08 but .02 can be reckless driving.

    The laws are just crazy.

    I had to spend 5 days trying to get out of a month long, 5 murder gang related trial in Compton 2 years ago. Did not want to convict some thugs or be stuck in Compton for obvious reasons.

    I was elected as Jury foreman, thankfully it wasn't a murder trial. Personal injury with alcohol involved.

    Pretty tough crowd.
