For those interested, not only in the outcome of the trial, but a detailed description of the trial, including some insights into police methods, two reporters are live-blogging. One report is by Henry K. Lee for the San Francisco Chronicle and the other is by David Kravets and published by Wired"

    Anyway, all of my peers jokingly told me before I went, "If you want out, just tell them during selection that you're college educated!"

    Actually, being a single, white, unmarried male professional is probably enough to get you kicked off a jury in a domestic abuse case. It's nothing personal, you're just less likely to be sympathetic to the defendant than other demographic groups. I'm usually dismissed without any comments or questions from the attorneys in such cases.
