I did a fun thing today
Can't give specifics due to an NDA, but I was a juror for a "mock trial" put on by a consulting firm. $300 to listen to both sides of a tort case and deliberate with other "jurors" for a couple hours. Would definitely do it again!

I would have made it a 12 Angry Men situation

That does sound fun. I would love to do that.

Nobody got my Lee J. Cobb joke. I was disappoint.

Should have immediately called for a hung jury due to the lack of culture in the room.

Side note did you know they made a 12 Angry Men where Jack Lemmon was Henry Fonda and George C. Scott was Lee Cobb? I didn't until pretty recently.

Re: I did a fun thing today
Yes! I probably watched it 3-4 times when it was first on HBO or whatever channel. I love it ALMOST as much as the original. What a cast! Those two, plus Edward James Olmos, Mykelti Williamson (I think), Tony Danza...more I can't remember.CardsofSTL wrote: ↑May 13 22, 5:05 pmSide note did you know they made a 12 Angry Men where Jack Lemmon was Henry Fonda and George C.

Both movies are loaded with big talent. I prefer the original but I think the remake is pretty good.Smith Corks One wrote: ↑May 13 22, 5:17 pmYes!

You should have stated that you do not believe in the constitution of the United States and called for jury nullification.

Re: I did a fun thing today
While that would have been amazing, we didn’t get paid until the very end. Worth it? Maybe, until I got home and my wife killed me dead for not bringing home the cash.
