Alicia: No tea for me, Mrs Duretsky.
Juror: Suit yourself.
Alicia: So the other jurors said you were a holdout. Is that correct?
Juror: Umm-hum. They all thought they were so much smarter than me. My vote counted just as much as theirs.
Alicia: Uh-hum. What exactly in the defense 2’s case convinced you?
Juror: Well, the whole thing, really. I tend to look at a person and size them up pretty quickly. That lady, I liked her.
Alicia: The defendant, Jennifer?
Juror: No, that lawyer lady. She never put on airs. I like that.
Alicia: Just so I’m clear. The defense expert argued that the gunshot residue 3 on Jennifer’s hands came from the struggle. Is that why you held out?
Juror: Oh, I don’t know about that. I just tend to get a feeling. Don’t I, Cyrus?
