Crypto foundation demanded employees endorse suicide pledge

The judge picked our foreman very quickly. He just came into the room after we had been selected, looked at the person, asked if she wanted to be foreman, and that was it.

The person was the oldest or second oldest in the room. I don't think that was a coincidence.

I was elected by the other jurors, and I have no idea why. Probably because I was willing to do it if nobody else wanted to, and nobody else wanted to.

(I was definitely not the oldest in the room - I think I was like the 2nd or 3rd youngest.)

I was elected to be the foreman because I went to the bathroom at the wrong (right?) time.

May I ask in which state?

In every state I've been on a jury, the foreman was chosen by the other jurors.

The person was the oldest or second oldest in the room. I don't think that was a coincidence.

This was never the case in any of the juries I was on.

Seems it's 1 of the 3 states where that happens.

MA is the outlier a lot of the times when it comes to court law it seems.
