Jury Duty

In September and October of 2006 I served as an alternate juror in a double murder case in California. This is a collection of my notes/journal from that case including jury duty.

The case was the People vs. Dominique Alexander Wright with two counts of murder and one count of robbery. Each of the murder counts carried enhancements for firearm usage and robbery. The robbery charge carried a firearm enhancement also. The public defender in this case is Daniel Cook. The prosecutor was the deputy district attorney John Cope. The judge was Richard E. Arnason. The case was heard in section 28.
