I’ve served on a grand jury, which was interesting because you got to be part of an investigation and could question witnesses and prosecutors. We returned indictments on every single case, the standard for indictment being very low, almost the opposite of reasonable doubt. It was a much more laid back atmosphere than a regualar jury, though we had to commit for six weeks.
