Geez the judge told the jurors that they would never have to serve jury duty again because the case was so traumatic. I don't even want to imagine what everyone involved went through.
tbh, i don't think it's common to do more than one jury service in your life anyway. My dad is gone 60 and he has only done one recently. i'm 30 and have not done one
Both my dad and partner have done it twice, each time for less than two weeks. I think the jurors in this cause were further excused because of the sheer length of the trial, rather than because the evidence they had to consider was particularly gruesome. Obviously a premature baby serial killer is gruesome, but I think jurors are usually excused from serving again if the trial has been so horrific that they’re offered counselling or something. It’s very very rare for a trial to take more than 6 weeks.
I'm in my 30's and have been summoned for jury duty multiple times, but never actually served as one.
I'm 30s. Don't know anyone who's done it.
