Fellow jurors
discuss
experience on
her show
(AP) — Oprah Winfrey said she
would not want to serve as a juror
in a murder trial again, but she en­
joyed getting to know her fellow
jurors - and invited them to her
show to talk about the experience.
“You’re not allowed to discuss
anything to do with the trial until
the whole thing is over, and so you
get to know people really, really
well because you’re trying to talk
about everything else,” Winfrey
said during a show taped Aug. 24
and broadcast Thursday.
Winfrey was one of 12 jurors
who convicted a Chicago man of
murder Aug. 18. The billionaire's
presence drew massive amounts of
media attention to what would nor­
mally have been a low-profile ease.
Winfrey briefly discussed the
experience with other jurors who
sat in the audience of her show
before she interview ed actors

Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law.
One said Winfrey asked the
other jurors to sing whenever she
went to the bathroom attached to
the jury room to drown out the
noise. Winfrey, looking embar­
rassed, verified the story and said
one of the songs the jurors chose to
sing was "Kumbaya.”
The talk show host asked the
jurors how they felt after the trial.
Several said the decision to con­
vict 27-year old Dion Coleman was
a difficult one. They deliberated for
more than two hours before con­
victing Coleman of first-degree
murder in the February 2002 shoot­
ing death of 23-year-old Walter
Oprah Winfrey
Holley.
“I didn’t feel like ‘Oh gee, I put
somebody away.’ ... In the end it
just felt sad,” said Winfrey.
Winfrey invited the jurors to stay
after the show for a lunch prepared
by her personal chef.
