I recently read a Wall Street Journal article that almost put me to sleep concerning what to do with juror’s who believe bedtime is meant to occur in a jury box. Let’s face it even the most dramatic speaker can sound like a bedtime story if they continue speak without interaction for long periods of time and trust me some lawyers tone’s are meant for nap time rather then court time. To make matters worse the complexity of a case can cause people to drift off into a more exciting world even if these dry facts are the key to a case.  Therefore it is important that the juror’s have some interaction with the courtroom drama rather then drift into La, La, Land. This can occur with questions that juror’s are allowed to ask the lawyers and even those on the witness stand at different intervals. To keep matters flowing this will only occur at certain periods of a trial and questions will be asked randomly or on a lottery type basis.  Those that object to my suggestion can take a nap and think about it in the morning.
