the foreperson is a white female..appears to be late 20's.
Wow. That's young.
When I served on a jury a dozen years ago, it was a murder trial with the DP on the table. When we got the case, the first thing someone said was how do we want to go about choosing a foreperson? A young woman jumped in and said, "I'll do it."
She wasn't someone we would've voted for, but being Southern we just politely said, "Okay."
When deliberations started she had no control over the process. There were a few people who just took charge and got us through it.
I'm not saying that is the case here, but that's the way it happened during my experience. I'm quite sure there were a few people wondering in our case how in the world she got chosen.
