The judge picked our foreman very quickly. He just came into the room after we had been selected, looked at the person, asked if she wanted to be foreman, and that was it.

The person was the oldest or second oldest in the room. I don't think that was a coincidence.

I was elected by the other jurors, and I have no idea why. Probably because I was willing to do it if nobody else wanted to, and nobody else wanted to.

(I was definitely not the oldest in the room - I think I was like the 2nd or 3rd youngest.)
