Episode #37 - Inside the Courtroom: A Juror’s Perspective

In this two-part episode of Face the Jury, we’re doing something that has rarely—if ever—been done on a legal podcast. We’re going behind the scenes of a 3-week-long medical malpractice trial and talking with a juror about his perspective on the whole process. We’re joined by Dillon Diamond, a high school languages teacher in the Fulton County Public School System, who was selected as a juror in the case of Tim Jenkins v. Dr. Max Steuer, Dr. Richard Amerson, and Northside Emergency Associates, P.C. Dillon shares what it’s really like to be selected for jury duty, to hear and see the evidence as it’s presented by the different lawyers, and to deliberate over a life-changing case—one that ultimately ended in a hung jury. Listen today as we discuss:

• What jurors really think during trial
• The challenges of reaching a unanimous verdict in complex cases
• How jury duty gives everyday citizens a voice in the justice system
