To My Fellow Jurors Part 2

I actually got started writing a piece on the trial we were on. A few minutes ago, after futher consideration and after looking at the defendant's MySpace page and seeing his friends, I came to the conclusion that I'd rather night write about the trial.
If "Slate" had the nerve to walk up to the victim and threaten her IN THE COURTHOUSE, there's no telling what he or his friends might do should I sell this to Willamette Week or Portland Monthly.
I will use the experience in a piece of fiction I'm working on.
Your notes will live on, just not in a piece of non-fiction.
Thanks again. I still feel like we did the right thing.
