Incarceration
See Also: Freedom
For two weeks in June I sat on a jury listening at a murder trial. I, along with eleven other jurors found the defendant guilty of murder. Ever since then, the consequence of my vote has occupied my thoughts. Although I do not decide the convicted's sentence, what I did now allows it to come forth. For second degree murder, the sentence was a minimum of 37 years and a maximum of 60.
