Who is the sockless man?

Find out in this satirical peek at justice in Los Angeles. During a domestic violence case, the author and eleven other jurors must sift conflicting evidence to uncover the truth: did the defendant strike his wife, or was she a coked-up loon who made eerie noises? What happened to the defendant's socks? Did a juror overhear the defendant ordering pizza—and how did that affect the final outcome? Can annoyed, busy strangers render a just verdict? Be a fly on the wall inside the jury room and witness the chaos as twelve strangers attempt to render justice with one eye on the clock. This short essay is the mandatory minimum you need for a fast fun read.
