I mean, it's one thing to say like this should be a podcast and another thing to make it as quickly as we did. That's the first thing that comes to mind. Right. Like what made this really so unique was that we had to move fast. Yeah.

We committed early on to the writing and producing of the podcast in real time in order to capture the details and emotions of your experience while it was still fresh. Right. So we started basically as soon as you got back.

Yes, yes. That was something we committed to from the very start. We didn't want this to feel like any sensationalized true crime thing. Right.

Okay, so let's shift gears and talk about something we really haven't explored in depth. What it's actually like to be inside that jury room. And even just like living in the headspace that you were in for 10 days.
