... and the verdict is in

The trial is over and the defendant was found guilty of DUI.

In my mind it was a pretty open and shut case and the defendant wasted money taking it to court. I almost believe that she had more than one arrest and was just grasping at straws trying for a not guilty verdict.

We only had to deliberate for 30 minutes and most of the that, IMO, was people discussing their logic because they felt bad about the guilty verdict.

Again, the trial took too long but our system is still the best one around.
