Nope, haven't seen it. Maybe I'll pick it up the next time I'm at the video store.
It really blew my mind how it worked out - while we were in there, I was the only one that felt very strongly for the defendant, there was probably 3 or 4 people that felt strongly for the prosecution, and the others just went along with them simply because they thought we could get out of there quicker. Ah, the court system.
I don't know if anyone else does this, but during your deliberations did you ever have nicknames for people that testified/attorneys?
We had a variety of people testify, and it was hard to keep track of their names, so one of us would just say "You know, the guy that looked like Keanu Reeves" or whatever when another jury member couldn't remember who we were talking about, and from that point forward that's what we would call them.
The Bailiff had a very confused look on his face when he brought us lunch - he probably thought he had accidently walked into a courtroom where only celebrities hung out.
Oh, I forgot to mention... we were sequestered for the entirety of the trial, which may have contributed to everyone's anxiousness to leave...
