I was a juror twice.
The first time I was an alternate on a murder trial. Two guys got into an argument over $20, and one pulled out a gun and shot the other in the eye and killed him. The judge actually had to have a “translator” in court because several of the witnesses spoke in Ebonics, and not everyone on the jury could understand what they were saying.
The second time I was picked first for the jury, so I was foreman. It was a civil trial concerning one of those dubious mortgage companies. The judge in this case had retired, but was brought back in to help clear the docket of cases. Because he was retired, he had an active social calendar, so we had anywhere from 2 to 3 hours a day for lunch.
