Default Won My First Jury Trial
Started Tuesday, finished up Friday. It was a child custody case. The jury was out deliberating for almost 5 hours. I thought I was going to go crazy waiting. It ended up being an 11-1 decision.

It was a pretty awesome feeling hearing that verdict read in court.

Confession: I was the sole holdout juror. I didn't like your tie.

Congrats.

That's cool, dude!

I remember when you were just getting started as a professional Ambulance chaser!



Sweet! I'm proud of you...

Thanks guys.

CF did you want me to explain why it was only 11-1?? lol I have no idea. Guess I wasn't as convincing as I thought I was. They were deadlocked at 7-5 at one point, and it looked like we were gonna have a hung jury.

Well, if I were one of the guys on the jury you would have had one hung juror...even if I was on your side.

I thought it was too, and that's a dumb rule IMO. It should be majority wins.

Won your first? Remind me not to hire you!


Seriously, congrats
