28: The Jury Is On Drugs, Your Honor

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) What do you call a 6-week period in which you and a handful of very recent acquaintances get drunk every day at lunch, sleep through the afternoons, sell weed to each other, smoke weed with each other, and whip out a few bags of cocaine to snort when the time feels right?


For a group of twelve people in Florida in 1987, they would call it jury duty. That’s right. Since 1987, jury misconduct stories only got crazier and crazier...including one where a jury convicted a man of double homicide by breaking out a Ouija board and asking the victims' ghosts. Yep.


Reb tops off a martini and hosts a seance in Tanner v. United States (1987).
