Three people got into a car accident. A car side-swiped them in the left lane. One woman was pregnant. We weren’t informed who had car insurance and who didn’t. We got no reports about why the pregnant woman didn’t go directly to the emergency room. Instead all three parties in the car went to a chiropractor and racked up significant medical bills from what was said to be chronic pain. And they wanted money from the defendant to pay that chiropractor back for their pain and suffering.

I listened to this story from my jury seat and paid close attention to the three people who claimed to have back problems. (The pregnant woman had her baby by this time.) And I listened closely to the report from the chiropractor’s assistant, who spoke on his behalf.

As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a percentage from purchases with my referral links. I know some consumers are choosing to boycott Amazon for its DEI removal. However, after thinking about this thoroughly, I want to continue promoting cool products from small businesses, women-owned businesses and (specifically) Black-owned businesses who still feature their items on Amazon. As of the first date of Black History Month 2025, each new post will ALWAYS include a MINIMUM of one product sold by a Black-owned business. (I have visited the seller’s official site to verify that Amazon Black-owned logo.) I am (slowly) doing this with older, popular posts too. If you still choose to boycott, I 100% respect that decision.

We all went to our designated jury room and sat around the table voicing our opinions. I was the only African-American juror, but there was another woman of color who complained incessantly about needing to use her phone and there being no reception.
