The time I was on a jury was pretty interesting (and I got out of work for a few days).

I had jury duty a couple weeks ago and it was great. Slammed 3 Belgian beers at the Trappist over the two hour lunch and the judge had the jury and alternates in place by 3pm. (And I wasn't in it).

Proportionally, very few do. And believe it or not, but among those that do it is usually pretty hard to get convictions on them.

What kind of evidence gets presented in a dui case?  Like BAC readings and junk?

in the case i served on, they tried to say that because he coughed a minute or so before he took the breathalyzer at the station that the results should have been thrown out. he still blew over the limit over an hour after the initial traffic stop.
