Jury duty today-

I had jury duty today and was selected in a criminal mischief case; destroying personal property. Lasted all day, damn is that courthouse was chilly! I was voted foreman and we deliberated for about an hour after starting out with some differing verdicts among us. We came to a consensus after reviewing the three parts of our instructions of which one part was clearly not proven to beyond a reasonable doubt. Two women with a woman alternate, one juror of less than 20 years old, one over 70, two black jurors, three white and one hispanic who appeared to be mixed, three of the six were born outside the USA. The defendant was black. Short trial- just that day so it's over. It was my first time as foreman, and the whole day went quickly; just wish we could have more breaks for food, lol.
