to participate on juries I think it is our responsibility to do so, but it does seem like (without the results feedback we are accustomed to), it will be sort of a "vacuum" process--not even rewarding the basic curiosity of "what happened afterwards"...

I understand why Skinner has chosen to go this route, though. I truly do.

I think curiosity is a very normal human instinct.... so I do wonder about the effect on potential jurors f there is no feedback...

as though I had no idea whether or not my efforts were worth it. Don't get me wrong, I do believe jury duty is important to the functioning of DU and will continue to do so when I can. But it does leave one wondering if their vote even registered or made a difference.
