I was on one jury, a Medical Malpractice case involving death, multiple defendants, multiple complaints. Nearly FIVE DAYS of testimony. I found it odd that one attorney stopped asking questions the 2nd day, and two others virtually stopped the 4th day after being very active early on.
When it came time to charge the Jury, 18 out of 20 complaints had been settled. That left us with a complaint each against the hospital and the Dr. It was a no-brainer decision, and all we really had to do was assign percentage of blame. So (12+2 jurors)*(5*8 hrs)= 560 man-hrs to divy up a settlement amount that had already been reached. (We found this out when we recommended $1 in damages. The Judge said he was in agreement but the number had already been reached.)
We all took our duty seriously and it really turned out to be a huge waste of our time. Sorta like your wife asking you which couch you like AFTER she purchased one.
