Outsmarted by a trainspotter

And tuesday voir dire, I pegged Juror 7 as a rules-first spreadsheet person from her color‑coded planner and built our theme around precision, and then the verdict pivoted because Juror 3 casually calibrated the key timestamp by the 5:17 southbound that always blares past his block — everyone trusted his internal timetable more than counsel’s slideshow. Adding a new box to my profiling rubric: “knows the neighborhood by sound.”.

“trusted his internal timetable” — same here; I now ask in voir dire, “What tells you time in your neighborhood?” and key our timeline to those anchors, but I always pull the actual transit/church schedule so it doesn’t boomerang. Did this with a 6:05 bell‑ringer juror and the jury corrected our slide for us — in our favor.

Same here — curious if others are actually seeing dates or just memos.
