Ive served twice on five cases. One was a couple of brothers that were charged with murder 1, and we returned the not guilty verdict an hour after they did the same on the hinkley case for shooting Regan. By reason of insanity ................sorta.
One of the others was a Pizza Hut armed robbery, in which two drunken idiots took the money and the cash register. The value of the register made the crime a felony. What was interesting is just how much they admitted to drinking that night, and how many miles they drove around drunk. Three fifths of Jack, and two cases of beer, and a few other things they managed to steal that night. They shoulda got twice the time for public endangerment.
Anyway, interesting thing sitting on a jury. I think everyone ought to do it sometime in their life.
