It also made me want to stay far far away from any trouble with the law
My jury experience taught me to not worry, the law will come to you, looking for trouble where none exists. "Not guilty, your honor."
The evidence was so poor, I later question whether the defendant was offered a deal, and he said "screw you, you know I didn't do it", and so it went to trial out of spite. Because after it was over, I felt like invoicing the prosecutor on behalf of taxpayers for wasting our money.
