You f#cked it up.
No-one wants a murderer living next to them, and the only way to stop that happening it is to make sure you're on the jury.
I served on a jury during an incest case. It was pretty unsavory, but we got a conviction and the guy got 8-10 years.
I highly recommend the experience. You learn a lot about people, sympathy, heartbreak, compassion, hate, justice, intelligence, stupidity...etc.
