anyone here been on jury duty ? how's the experience like ? I'm guessing it must be very consuming to pass a judgement on someone that could determine their life? what about gruesome cases? Quentin Tarantino movies are bad enough for me. Lawyers somewhat detach emotions from their cases but diff for civilians, I'd reckon ?

At the same time, seems like a fairer way of passing judgement instead of total reliance on judges - as its game over if judges are corrupt. i don't know the history and evolution of judiciary system globally, but curious on how its like for regular people to be juries

We used to have juries in my country, but after a very creepy sensational case of someone who practiced black magic and murdered a lot of people and babies, the jury system was completely abolished some 20 years back. The witch doctor was sentenced to death but i guess everyone was just totally freaked out
