Jury adventures - some minor HD related observations
Ok so, I’ve now yacked it up a bit about the trial I got selected for over on Band if you wanna be aggravated with the legal system and people in general … be my guest 😂
I decompressed on John for like 2 or 3 hours (could not stop talking about the details) after an 11 hour day and still was wide awake until like 3am 🙄
Then decompressed on Aleda for another hour this morning.
I really recognize the serious pressure on my solar plexus was under to have quick clarity of decision.
And also on my undefined ego to justify/prove why I didn’t find that the State had proven it’s case - being the only holdout on first vote.
I did listen to the other 5 people’s points and weathered grumpy people and some personal attacks.
But I had nothing to prove and they weren’t genuinely curious about what I could see.
It was a DUI case and the burden was on the State to prove their claim through evidence.
It came down to me who saw lots of discrepancies and the others who were more afraid of a potential drunk driver than they were of the State making mistakes.
So nothing to do except hold my position. 🤷🏻♀️
Rainy day here so am just chilling horizontally so far and no signs of that changing any time soon.
Resting day for me - from what John called “a big dose of out amongst’em” 🤭
I can go grab the Band link and drop it in the comments here for your distraction pleasure - or not :)
