Guilty as Charged

Yes, you can find me guilty as charged for not updating this blog in a loooong time. Since I last wrote, I had jury duty. I wasn't selected for a trial the first or second time they "interviewed" us, but I guess the third time was a charm. I was selected for a robbery trial. Ultimately, though, we ended up being a hung jury, so I'm not sure what happens next. I don't know if the defendent will be retried or not. I was 1 of 3 out of the 12 who thought he was guilty. Most of the rest thought he was guilty, but that the police didn't do enough so they had "reasonable doubt." I agreed that the police could have done a lot more, but I didn't have enough doubt to justify letting him go.
