Back in June, I wrote a series about the time I served on the jury for a murder trial [link<\/a>]. Five people acting together were accused of the murder; the defendant in the trial of which I was a part managed to get a separate trial. I often wondered what happened in the other trial.<\/p>\n

John, over at LiveJournal, served on the jury for the other trial, and now he has written an account of his experiences in that trial. Link<\/a>. (The link is to the final entry of his account of the trial; each entry has a link to the preceding entry; click all the links back to the first entry and then use the “Back” button on your browser to read the entries in chronological order.)<\/p>\n

It was interesting for me to read John’s account of the trial. He remembers some details that I had forgotten, and his trial took a very different direction than ours — his jury wound up being sequestered, for example, and his jury managed to acquit one of the defendants. I wonder about the other people who were involved, and the stories they could tell — the two men who are still serving time for the murders, their families, the families of the men who were murdered, the defendant who was acquitted, the other jurors. I wonder if the judge and the lawyers and the police involved even remember the trials any more, or if those two trials have just blended in with their memories of a long succession of similar trials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
