Jury Duty: The Murder Trial Tim Loved

• 24:14Tim was selected as a defense juror for a murder trial and the defense attorney looked at him and thought he would understand torture.
• 24:59Tim initially thought the trial would be a routine civil case before learning it involved murder, torture, and rape.
• 25:11The defendant had brutally stabbed the mother of his children so many times the coroner couldn't count the wounds, reaching at least 60 lacerations.
• 26:08The defendant was a police informant who beat the victim repeatedly while cops ignored orders of protection, leading to a major settlement for her family.
• 26:46Tim wanted jury duty badly because the mortgage industry was collapsing and he had nothing else going on.
• 27:38During jury selection, the prosecutor asked if his license suspensions made him hate police, and Tim responded he hated himself for being irresponsible.
• 28:39When the defense attorney asked if he could be impartial about torture and rape, Tim said they were only words.
• 29:11Tim threw a fit about being late for work during the lunch break to make the judge think he didn't want the jury duty, then got selected anyway.
• 30:13One of the victim's friends, a Latina gangster chick, fearlessly told the defendant he could come see her at her address.
• 31:39Tim was eating potato chips in the jury box during testimony and a court system worker who knew him from high school was horrified.
• 32:55Tim dropped a tin of Altoids during important testimony and the whole courtroom laughed, including the chubby defendant on trial.
• 33:21The defendant who liked Tim seemed to think Tim was his guy on the jury, but Tim had to betray him by voting to convict.
