we all agreed defendant was guilty. This was before any deliberation. But, we didn’t notify the Judge we had reached a verdict for another hour at least. We decided to have lunch on the county, too.

After we gave our verdict and we were excused all the prosecutors and the police who testified told us how grateful they were for our verdict and that they weren’t allowed to bring in all the defendants previous bad deeds and he was a really bad guy.
