Jury Duty
So, um... I hung a jury today. Yeah... Eleven not guilty, one guilty. That was me.
Because* when you call three separate people and tell them you are going to kill someone, I don't think it falls under the category of "venting".
*This is a vast oversimplification of the facts of the case. The defendant is seeking anger management, if he can afford it through his insurance. (And because he is a veteran, I made the specific recommendation to his attorney that they put him in touch with the VA, because they have services specifically tailored to his needs.)

I have to say based on what you've said I'd have voted the same way and props to you for sticking to your conscience.
