75: Jury service

I did jury service about 25 years ago. I was on a jury with 11 white jurors and one black juror. The jurors seemed like decent people. It was short case and we were called again. This second jury was made up of most of the same jurors as the previous one, but without the black juror. One of jurors made racist comments about the defendant in the second case and she had not in the first case when there was a black juror in the room. I was very young and it was very shocking.
