Katrina Robertson: Juror #11
This week on Gin &Justice, Justine and Amanda get a whole new perspective we haven't heard yet, that of a JUROR. Author, Katrina Robertson, tells all about her jury service, going from a juror in a murder trial and accidentally catching a contempt charge! She brings us on her journey from the moment she gets the juror summons to the point where she is to be sentenced by a very strict and biased judge in her small town. Speaking from a juror's perspective on a need for change, her impactful story will forever change the way Justine conducts her own voir dire.
You can read her entire story by getting her book, Juror #11: A Memoir of the Broken Justice System and Rising From the Trials of Life, here:
