It did end with an abrupt stop. It was rather shocking that there was no debrief. There was no standardization of dismissal. It just seemed to be incredibly abrupt and convoluted, literally “pack your bags and off you go”.
Our trial was a little bit unusual in the sense that the justice came to our jury room and had a cup of tea with us, but that's very unusual. Even then, that wasn't a dismissal; it was just to say, “You all went through a really long trial, and I just want to say thanks.” It was literally a handshake. That didn't help me. We've heard from a lot of people who say you feel like the rug is just pulled out from underneath you. You're walking out of one very tight vacuum into another, and you're in this zombie-like state, just lost, because you're suddenly back in the world. You're back in the world after having been through this. Tina said it earlier today. It's like a plane crash. You've gone through this thing that you can't explain to somebody else, but you feel as though you have to.
