Juror Characterization Project--Check calendar--Due by Dec. 19th!!

Choose any juror you wish, and use what you know about that character to come up with a complete characterization of who that person is. The format is up to you to choose--be creative! This will include:
*A picture
*age, height, weight
*eye color/hair color
*favorite foods
*music he listens to
*car he drives
*favorite movie
*hobbies
*nickname
*spouse/family life (both early on and current)
*types of clothes he wears
*education/profession
*life description (paragraph)
This project is worth 50 pts. so put some effort into it. I am getting bored with the lackluster work that some of you keep putting forth at this point.
