Served on a domestic violence/battery case about 12-13 years ago. A couple in a mobile home in Williams were drinking and got into it. Mutual combatants: he gave her a black eye and a concussion, and she broke his nose. lol I served on his trial, but the defense attorney made it very clear that she was going to trial, too--probably to gain a bit of sympathy. Trial lasted about a week. We deliberated for only a couple hours and convicted him of battery and some of the other charges. Pretty sure both ended up serving, but I don't remember for how long.
I was called in for Federal court not too long ago, but the judge came out before juror selection and said the defendant begged for a plea bargain, but wouldn't tell us who or what the case was for/about. Kinda bummed. I don't mind serving. I think it's interesting.
