It wasn't a bad deal for me. My job still paid me and I got 20 bucks a day from the court house. Lots of people were teachers and they got pretty screwed.

It's my understanding that teachers have the option of keeping the jury duty pay and losing their salary for those days or giving the jury duty money to the school and receiving their salaryIt wasn't a bad deal for me.

With regard to juries, I had a co-worker that served jury duty on a drug case. (We worked for the OSBI.) When it came time to deliberate, my co-worker told me that none of the rest of the jurors had any idea that possession of drugs with intent to sell was a more serious crime than simple possession of drugs. The perp was charged with Possession with Intent and was convicted.
As for this guy that was killed, that one story posted by CHenry pretty well explains where the mix-up occurred. In that case, the DA filed Murder in the First degree and later asked for the option of some form of Manslaughter as an alternative, but the judge denied the option for Manslaughter. Thus, the jury had to consider Murder One only with no option for a lesser charge.
That explains why I didn't see it.
Too late the OSA jury has ruled: the jurors were all mouth breathers.
What the heck, one more dirtbag off the street and we are not supporting for the next 50 years in jail.
I would call it a win for the good guys..
