I have always had a question on these proceedings. Instead of seating one jury for the day; it appears that different juries were called for different cases during one day's session. Also, you might note that sometimes someone on the jury actually had a case against or for them pending! Next week a short break and I am going to give you some definitions of the terms used - might help you figure some of these cases out!
