One of my favorite movies is Twelve Angry Men.
The
original was made in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, then it was remade

Wouldn’t
it be interesting to know what it’s like to actually be on a jury
for a murder trial? That’s what my guest today, Jami, is going to

Jami
told this story here on the podcast about 4 years ago, and it was a
really popular episode. She’s a great storyteller and I think
you’ll enjoy hearing all the behind-the-scenes details about being
on a jury for a major case – and how this experience inspired her
to start her OWN true crime podcast.
