Jury Duty: A Memoir

Do you enjoy Law and Order and NCIS? Have you every thought to yourself, I would love to be a juror in a murder trial? If you are interested in criminology, murders, or true crime, this is a book for you. I will take you into the jury box with me as I experience a murder trial. It is not a trial of great notability, there wasn't a lot of media coverage, and no one famous was involved. This is simply a run-of-the-mill, ordinary (unfortunately) murder trial. Join me as I live this trial day in and day out for a few weeks. Experience the interesting issues and the boring times. See how a murder investigation and trial actually unfold, unlike the way they are portrayed in the novels you read. Be surprised by the mundane and bored by the technical. Most of all, be intrigued by the awesome responsibility citizens have in deciding the fate of the accused in our system.
