    I’m honestly surprised it took them so long to decide. That means at least one juror didn’t immediately laugh the charges out of consideration.

      I was a juror on a federal felony case that took longer to choose a foreman than we took to reach a verdict.

      This is something that is technically illegal but actually trivial; someone(s) decided to try to treat it more seriously and had to be argued into not guilty.
