Fiist Ave. 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 Any citizen who is 18 years old on Election Day is eligible to vote.

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.’ ...
