Won My First Jury Trial

[peplaw06]

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.

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.

11-1 is still a hung jury, that's why I'm cornfused.

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

In most civil cases, you only have to have 10 to have a verdict. Criminal cases have to be unanimous to convict.

Seriously, congrats

Yeah that doesn't sound right. This was my first jury trial, and we won. So I'm 1-0... undefeated

Congrats on being undefeated!

Congrats and thanks for the clarification.
