Re: Would you Want to Know?

[(Anonymous)]

I had it last year, and this guy who quite likely murdered his girlfriend was set free. But there was reasonable doubt. Do I think he did it? Probably, BUT there was enough doubt that I didn't want to send him to the pen for what would probably have been the rest of his life. It was difficult, quite the experience. I do feel bad that this woman didn't have justice, but again, I didn't feel strongly enough of his guilt to send him to prison.

I wpuod make a horrible juror because in my mind there is always doubt. It is so hard. Plus the American prison system is such a scam amd an awful institution I would have a really hard time being part of sentencing anyone into it.

I agree with you. When you're sitting there in a courtroom, looking down at this person and thinking, "His future is in my hands, I have to decide whether or not I think he murdered this woman," it's really heavy. I agree that the American prison system is awful. Even feeling 75% sure wasn't enough for me to want to put him away.

Yee, okay I am very happy the jury never panned out for me. I don't know if I'd ever stop thinking about it if I was in your situation. That's rough. If I wasn't certain either way I'm not sure I'd be able do anything.

Re: Would you Want to Know?

Yeah. I'm glad for you, that you didn't have to do it. It's really heavy, and I do still think about it a lot. The state did not put up a good case, IMO. It just wasn't strong enough for me to be convinced of his guilt. But sometimes, I think of this woman and her family, and I feel so bad about it. But I know things went the way they are supposed to - if we have reasonable doubt, we are supposed to find him not guilty. Better to have a hundred guilty men go free than for one innocent man to be in prison, and all that. And for the majority of us, we went into the deliberation room feeling convinced that we couldn't find him guilty. But it is something that does still weigh on me.

One really striking thing was that, right after they read the verdict, the defense attorney turned to all of the jurors and just really gave us the eye. Like, just totally scrutinized us. He had just won the case, but he didn't look happy at all... it almost felt like he knew this man had done it, and that we had let him go free. But, I wouldn't change it, I wouldn't. I had doubt.

That is not okay, what that attorney did, omg, he might have not even known, but what a dick. The only thing I have to think is that the case doesn't simply close once someone is found not guilty. Such a naïve and terrible thing to say, I suck, but you absolutely did the right thing. Everyone on that jury did. They went to trial before they had a case, and they couldn't prove it. Damn, I'm shaking just thinking about it, that's terrible.
