This was my first experience with jury duty, and I was picked and served on a trial for 3 days.
It was a facinating experience, but I was ultimatly disillusioned, as I believe a guy who was probably guilty got off because of a poor prosecution.
I spoke with the prosecution afterwords and told her why we ruled how we did. She became teary eyed and stated information that would have changed out ruling, had it been introduced-but the judge would not allow it.
I can live with myself and my desicion, but I am still unhappy that the "system" got in the way.
