Norman Juror Talks About Her Experience
September 29th, 2007 by Jared Morrisfrom WGMD News:
The man known as the Bi-state shooter, Allison Lamont Norman, has been sentenced to death. Sussex County Superior Court Judge T. Henley Graves took the jury’s recommendation that Norman should die by lethal injection. Norman went on a shooting spree that began in Laurel with the death of 24 year old Jamell Weston and ended in Salisbury – with a total of two dead and 4 injured. Lethal injection in Delaware is currently on hold until a class-action lawsuit on behalf of death row inmates
A juror for the trial called my radio show yesterday to give her reaction to the verdict. Although, I felt a little uncomfortable announcing the news on the air of the verdict as she was on the phone with me, we heard her reaction live. This juror, I believe her name was Marianne, called the program a few months ago as well. You know, after her original call, I think a lot about that experience. I guess you could say, her story kind of haunted me a little bit. The idea of sitting on a jury in a case that horrible, I know that it would stay with me. Heck, I can’t even watch too many episodes of CSI without feeling it. Here’s the audio from her most recent call in… listen to her story… at times it’s hard to listen to, but, it’ll stay with you.
