This was a criminal case with a lot of medical testimony. It wasn't a pleasant experience, as it involved brain damage to a 16 month old. I had to explain "angular momentum" during deliberations.

I've served in two states, 7 or 8 times on criminal and civil cases. I've never served on a grand jury though. For some reason I've never been rejected by either the prosecution or defense, no matter how I answer their questions. This last time I was definitely preselected, because both sides skipped over me when questioning the pool of prospective jurors. They went through 80 potentials to get 12 and 2 alternates.
