Yes, I have been on three juries and the most recent was murder in the first degree, but not a capitol case. The trial was 5 weeks and a week of deliberation! The outcome was a hung jury. The night before the deliberation ended, all 12 voted guilty, however, overnight two flipped.
Needless to say 10 of us were very frustrated. He was in jail on another charge at the time of this trial and a year later he took a deal and pleaded guilty for the murder! I knew he was guilty and I bet those two softies are regreting their decision now. :!:
