I was the last holdout on a jury that convicted a man for shaking a baby, who died. We convicted the mother's boyfriend -- a likely suspect -- in a long and lurid trial with eight-by-ten color glossy photographs and PowerPoint slides. His defense was weak, and blaming the ambulance crew really didn't shore up his side.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I had to be a juror on a fairly straightforward case and that was stressful enough.
