I served on a jury one time. Personal injury case--young black guy hydroplaned while driving the speed limit into an old white guy, sending him down an embankment, rolling his car three times, and breaking his neck. We ended up finding for the defendant because we couldn't see how there was any negligence. It was three days.
It was sort of interesting, and sort of depressing. Here was this old guy whose life was unquestionably altered and disrupted by this serious accident, and try as we might (and we did--at one point I was the lone dissenter), we couldn't come up with a way to find for him.
