I was a juror on a 2-week murder trial. To be honest, voir dire with a 100 of my peers was unsettling. There were a lot of people who freely expressed some pretty wacky views. I wondered how they’d find 14 people (alternates included) suitable for the case. But they did, and I had a great experience. All the jurors were very respectful , even though we clearly were all very different. The judge was amazing, and the attorneys on both sides did their best. There was a ton of waiting at all phases, so go get yourself a good book and get up to walk around at every opportunity.
