[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 234995, member: 562"] I served once on a drunk driving trail, it sucked, was many years ago but I thought guilt was questionable, officer admitted not following proper procedure when giving breathalyzer, but then stated in his 'official opinion' it wouldnt make a difference in the results. Well in my opinion, officers arent scientists and their understanding of how the equipment works is likely limited. If you skipped steps or administered a test incorrectly, it could affect the results. I stated this in deliberation and there was an old lady who was downright abusive towards me. Very hostile and she beat me up verbally for what felt like an eternity, but was more likely an hour or so, finally I gave in and we called him guilty. Now Id probably hold out, but I was young and dumb(er?). Hope I never have to serve on a jury again. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I feel ya!
