Jury duty sucks. Everyone I know agrees. But I mean it
SUCKS.
I just finished my stint. Got selected on a medical malpractice case.
We found for the defense. The doctors. We just couldn't see the case that, more likely than not likely, they'd killed the young woman in surgery.
How do you look a brother, a father, a cousin, friends, in the eye and say, "we didn't believe you"? Based on the evidence, I could not in good conscience believe what they think happened. Not to the "more probably true than not true" level that the judge said they had to prove.
It stinks. And I feel about two inches tall for having to say that to a family that lost a cherished daughter.
Jury duty just sucks, OK?
