I've been a juror in a civil trial presided over by a visiting, retired judge and I was shocked at the amount of personal opinion and agenda pushing he engaged in with his commentary and instructions. He was trying to get us to extract over $100,000+ dollars from a poor woman who had nothing to do with the plaintiff's damages. The plaintiff, and only the plaintiff was to blame for their stupidity and the jury made that quite clear to the judge when we came back in 30 minutes with a decision to absolve the defendant. Man was he chapped!
