One murder, twelve jurors and a hard-won verdict. Princeton historian D. Graham Burnett writes about his experience as the foreman of the jury in a murder trial in New York City, what he calls "the most intense sixty-six hours of my life." "Rarely have we had so lucid an account by such an observant participant of what goes on behind the cloak of jury secrecy." –The Economist
