Samantha: How was your first day on a
jury?
Jinho: It was okay. The judge swore
us in and then we listened to the
beginning of the prosecutor’s case.
Two witnesses testified.
Samantha: That sounds exciting! I’d love to be
on a jury. Why didn’t they sequester
you? That’s what they do on TV.
Jinho: We didn’t need to be sequestered. This
isn’t a high-profile case. Hey, guess
what? I was selected as foreman.
Samantha: Wow, that’s a lot of responsibility.
Jinho: It’s no big deal. I think I was selected
because nobody else wanted the job.
Samantha: What’ll happen tomorrow?
Jinho: We’ll hear the rest of the prosecutor’s
case and then the defense attorney
will put on her case. I’m sure the entire thing
will be over in three or four days.
Samantha: Were there any interesting
exhibits? Will the defendant take
the stand?
Jinho: No, no interesting exhibits so far, and
I’m not sure if the defendant will take the
stand.
Samantha: I wish I were in your place. I’d love
to put a criminal behind bars.
Jinho: You’re supposed to be
impartial when you’re on a jury,
remember?
Samantha: Oh sure, I’d only convict
the guilty defendants – just like on
TV!
