Point by Robman, not really smart to put this in a public forum.

    Well, you've been involved in a rather life-altering event of another person. It's pretty normal to kinda internalize that and not be comfortable with it.

    If you made sure to follow the law and did what you thought was right, take comfort in that. You're not responsible for his crime.

    Firstly, make absolutely sure that you are allowed to discuss the case. We don't want you getting into difficulties for posting this.

    Secondly, you're not going to be the first person to feel like this. I'm pretty sure that there should be some form of counselling available for jurors who go through cases with such an impact as this.

    You were executing what society dictates was your responsibility. I know that sounds like a platitude, but you really were doing what's necessary for a liberalized judicial system to work, judging your peers in accordance with the law and the evidence presented.

    I've done Jury duty once myself, though my case was medical malpractice and therefore not nearly as intense. In a few days I bet you'll feel much better. For now, maybe take a little time to yourself and just do things you like to do. It'll help you re-establish a feeling of normalcy.

    For what it's worth, you should be proud of yourself for going through the experience. I know a lot of people who intentionally jump Jury duty. Thanks for being brave enough to do your share.

    Hey man this really sucks, but a public forum is the absolute last place you should be discussing your involvement in something like this. I mean, the crowd of silly geese that partakes in this board are supportive, but there is some shit that you should really keep to close friends and family only.

    i thought once it was over, it was public record.

    Willeth has a point though, i doubt most cities can/would fund something like that.

    It is. We're allowed to talk about it to anyone, but I reconsidered the purpose of the thread.
