My case I got to serve on was for 2 counts of assault in a peace officer for a man in jail who allegedly assaulted 2 police officers in a Short length of time. The first of the two counts the state had a bunch of evidence for, but the other one the only evidence they really had was a picture of the officer taken like a week ago from the time the alleged altercation happened. The picture looked like a dude just cut himself shaving.

So we deliberated very quickly and found the defendant guilty for the first count and not guilty for the second. I feel like the DA had tried to hit this guy unfairly with the second case as the case was as almost entirely baseless, and might have worked if the jury had been more racist or less observant rooting out the facts. I feel like Justice was served that day.
