It takes a lot out of you. I made a hung jury twice. The other jurist knew he was innocent but just wanted to go home on Friday. He had very bad legal rep there whole defense was he doesn,t have to prove his innocence The other side has to prove his guilt. So they had no evidence at all the police were caught lying and one refused to even show up.
