https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/emotional-nourishment/201905/can-serving-jury-be-harmful About two-thirds of jurors admitted to experiencing at least one physical and/or psychological symptom, ranging from transient experiences to significant illnesses (e.g., sleeplessness, intestinal problems, tension, headaches, heart palpitations, and depression). Others have found that jurors in difficult cases may experience weight loss, nervousness, hypervigilance, and mental exhaustion (Hafemeister, 1993). References Dabbs, M. O. (1992).
