I sat on a jury for a personal injury case, and I was surprised at how absolutely stupid, and unable to absorb basic concepts about the case my fellow jurors were. They wanted to give a huge settlement to “stick it to the man” whether there was a reason to or not. I’m pretty anti-corporation but there was no evidence to support the claim!

They really seemed to just want to get out of there by lunch (they also made me foreman because I was the only one wearing a tie).
