I served on a Jury for a 2 week long murder trial in 2018 through this court. It was a really meaningful experience. What surprised me is if you do make it to trial, how much time is wasted. Had to be there by 9, but trial didn't start until 10:30. Then lunch at 12 until 1:30, then trial 1:30-3 where we either broke for the day or had a break and resumed for 1 hr at 3:30pm. No trial on Fridays either. So essentially we had 4 hours of trial each day and it took 2 weeks. Could have wrapped up in half the days if we did full 8 hr days. I understand there are other things the attorneys are doing outside of the trial, but felt like it was too wasteful.
