Reply to comment by Tashus in Parkland prosecutors ask for an investigation after a juror says she was threatened by ‘a fellow juror’ during deliberations - CNN by SilentR0b

I don’t really recall anyone specifically trying to get out of the jury I served on, tho the whole process was rather eye-opening.

I don’t particularly like the idea that the quicker they decide a case the quicker they can leave, I think that plays a big role in jurors intimidating/bullying each other. I had nearly the entire rest of the jury table yelling at me for being the one dissenter during our preliminary vote.

If you haven't watched the 1957 classic Twelve Angry Men, I highly recommend it.

Oh I’ve seen it, it’s certainly a classic. Our arguments were considerably less animated tho, luckily.
