This magisterial book explores fascinating cases from American history to show how juries remain the heart of our system of criminal justice - and an essential element of our democracy. No other institution of government rivals the jury in placing power so directly in the hands of citizens. Jeffrey Abramson draws upon his own background as both a lawyer and a political theorist to capture the full democratic drama that is the jury. We, the Jury is a rare work of scholarship that brings the history of the jury alive and shows the origins of many of today's dilemmas surrounding juries and justice.

We, the Jury is the dramatic story of seven jurors, who convicted Scott Peterson of murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner, despite a series of internal battles that brought the first major murder trial of the 21st century to the brink of a mistrial. The Peterson jurors argued and disagreed but eventually bonded to seal the fate of the icy killer who dumped his victims into the bullet-gray waters of San Francisco Bay. The seven jurors of We, the Jury were seven average Americans who never imagined the horrors they would face or the phantoms that would haunt them after they convicted the enigmatic murderer and recommended that he be put to death. This is the story of how the American jury system worked after being battered by critics for the way it functioned in the trials of O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson. Unlike the jurors in those trials, who second-guessed themselves, the Peterson jurors do not question their decisions. It wasn’t one thing that condemned Scott Peterson, it was everything.

Shannon was a juror in the 1984 Houston trial that awarded $10.5 billion damages to the Pennzoil Company in its lawsuit against Texaco for preempting Pennzoil's supposedly binding merger agreement with Getty Oil. The verdict stunned the business world and Texaco declared bankruptcy; a compromise four years later reduced the award to $3 billion. With excerpts from court testimony and legal arguments between lawyers, bankers and executives, Shannon reconstructs the four-month trial, adding narrative and interpretations of his own. He tells how jury-room deliberations led to a consensus that Texaco had interfered intentionally, and therefore illegally, with Pennzoil's ``done deal'' and must pay a $3 billion penalty in addition to the $7.5 billion Pennzoil claimed to have lost by not acquiring Getty's oil reserves.
