I was on a jury in a personal injury case. They asked if any of us prospective jurors had any relationship to any of the attorneys. My son had taken the daughter of one of the attorneys to prom, but they didn't seem to think that was enough to disqualify me.
Somehow I got elected foreman. After we reached a verdict I was looking forward to the judge saying, "jury, have you reached and verdict?" and me standing up and saying, "we have your honor." But after we reached our verdict we were dismissed and weren't even in the building when it was read.
Anyway, the defendant had already been found guilty, but the plaintiff wasn't happy with the amount of money that was being offered. We the jury actually awarded the plaintiff less than the defendant had offered to pay before trial.
