After spending nearly an hour with most the jurors on the Daniel Ramsey trial, Deputy District Attorney Jodi Link reported that many panelists said they were proud to do their civic duty and take part in the criminal justice process. One juror even told her she wanted to talk to her company's human resources department about allowing employees more time to serve. Most admitted they dreaded having to report, but were really glad they did.

They found the experience rewarding, even though it was painful to watch the victims relive what was arguably the most horrendous moments of their lives, Link said. "They really got to be a part of seeing justice served," she added.
