I've been on jury duty a couple of times. First time a guy was held down while the defendant beat him with a chain. In the "sacred jury room, of which we were supposed to be in charge, the bailiff told us the judge had a party to go to and wanted a quick verdict. No smoking, water or use of the toilet until we had a verdict and the door was to be left open so the guard could watch us. I shut and locked the door, drank some water, called a whizz break and lit up. I would have taken that one to the Supreme Court if pushed. First vote, guilty. Judge over turned it. Second time I never was called but I had to listen to the judge's speech about how the jury were the most important people in the room. Let's see, judge, DA and lawyer all making $200 per hour, I'm getting $2 per day and can be denied water and use of the can. It's a joke, right?
