I felt very comfortable and unsurprised with everything after years of being educated by Law & Order and clones. The judge, prosecutor, defense attorney, defendant, alleged victim, bailiff, recorder and my fellow jury members all seemed to be good fits for their roles from central casting. The jury deliberation was consistent with my media history. You can visualize the whole experience by examining your preconception of "rural county court trial of man accused of pistol whipping his wife." It was mostly he said, she said, plus two days of legal blather, and we found him guilty in about a half hour.
