re: Ever have jury duty?

Got out of it a bunch of times but this last one they kept all but a few people.

Interesting to do it but took 3 weeks.

Kidnapping and sexual assault of two girls. Guy was caught in their apartment by the cops. Didn't seem like it needed to be tried but I guess the DA didn't offer him any deal. Ended up with three life sentences plus 60 years. Still mad I couldn't get the 4th life sentence. Sat down and one juror said he couldn't go more than 20 yrs total because he believed in redemption. Took a little time but got him to 3 life and 60 yrs. once he was there another guy decided he wanted the fourth life term and that was a deal breaker. Swayed back and forth a bit but best sales job ever to get those two to agree.

At sentencing they brought out evidence he tried to do the same thing several yrs before in his small hometown but wasn't prosecuted. He needs t not be on the streets for a long time..

Interesting stuff
