So Mari-Catherine is finally done with her stint on jury duty. Though she was in the stand-by pool, she was required to be at all dates and sentencing sessions. In short, she received all the adventure, but none of the worry or pressure (I say that NOW).
As it stands, the accused was convicted of murder in the first degree and, despite the state asking for the death penalty, was sentenced by jury to life in prison without parole. One fact she was let in on– she was the first juror on the stand-by list, so had anyone been unable to finish out their duty, Mari-Catherine was the first replacement.
You can find a story on the conviction here.
