In reply to the discussion: Have you ever served on a jury? I have once and experienced voir dire twice [View all]SeattleVet
(5,660 posts)When we got to the jury room, someone on the panel asked if anyone had ever been on a jury before. I was the only one, so they voted for me as foreman.
We finished up in 15 or 20 minutes. I started out by asking if there was anyone in the room that did NOT have reasonable doubt after hearing contradictory testimony from the 2 cops. One had said that he parked in a certain way when they approached the suspect; the other later said that *he* had parked the car. I mentioned that only one of them could have been driving, and said, "Let's take a quick vote to see where we stand." All voted Not Guilty.
I went to get the bailiff, and they thought needed something. I told her we were done. They recalled the judge, attorneys, and other personnel (some of whom were already headed home, since it as near the end of the workday and they figured we'd deliberate into the next day.)
