I was a juror on a murder trial once. The charges were murder, torture, and rape. It was the most fun Ive ever had. The defendant loved me. I dropped a tin of mints once during a cross examination and the defendant laughed. I gave him a What do you want from me? shrug. It killed. Once I was reprimanded for eating chips in the jury box and again he lost it. It was weird because it was during the medical examiner explaining to us that he had stabbed the woman in each eye. He gave me a What do you want from me? shrug. I laughed. This was, all things considered, a fun guy. The defense picked me for the jury because they looked at my face and said that guy will understand torture. After the conviction the jury decided they wouldnt speak to the press outside. I agreed. As we were leaving I ran up to the News12 camera and started talking about the trial and a few other things I had on my mind (namely delis toasting bread to disguise its age) which they cut out. My grandfather got excited when he saw me on tv and called me and said Good job juror!. The next week I went to my first open mic and ruined my entire life.
