Robert P. Taylor's JuryDuty: reflections on a trial 

Here are the two drawings of Edward Brown. I do not remember his vocation but do recall something more important. Right from the start of deliberations, he insisted like Chris Mundy (inset left), that we clarify why we felt the way we did. It was helpful because when we made an effort at that, we seemed to feel more comfortable with our conclusion. Ed was fairly quiet but steadfastly played that insistent role once deliberation began. The drawing on the right is given a little drama to symbolize his insistence. It's funny but Ed's unexpected role is something one can experience in collaborating with twelve jurors. By the time deliberation begins, the behavior of most is fairly predictable but one or two may behave differently than expected. Whether that behavior happens to be constructive (as in this case) or destructive (as in another jury with which I served), it makes a trial an interesting microcosm of human experience.
