I was on a Jury yesterday — Page 2

I'm guessing that your decision was that the plaintiff wasn't that seriously injured or that whatever injuries he had were due to a pre-existing condition?

I don't want to go into too much detail.  I am not sure how free I am to discuss the case.

It's tough being in a room you don't want to be in, full of doubt about what you've seen and heard, and then try convince 5 people. Maybe your initial impression was simply wrong. In that case, you saved everyone trouble (yourself included) by seeing the flaws in your first conclusion. It sounds like you tried to do your best.

I don't think I did try my best.

Looks like I'm getting some details wrong, but the online paper won't let me read the full articles, so I have to use this guy's relation of the story.  Not quite how I remember it, but I'll let you read it.  The second guy shot was Campas, the friend, if I remember correctly.  He did not die.  I don't think this was included in this link:

the link tells a different story than what I originally thought.   There is an argument the first killing was self defense.   As for the 2nd, it is still unclear to me why the bullet in the 2nd victim wasn't  matched to the gun or the bullets in found in the first victim.

I was going by faulty memory.  I remember he was acquitted, but I had a hard time buying it at the time.
