On the day the conclave to elect the new pope began, the WhatsApp chat Xisca maintains with her fellow members of the jury was reactivated. The eleven members (nine titular and two alternates) were reflected in the closed-door voting process of the cardinals. They also had to deliberate incommunicado for two days until they convicted the two accused of throwing a drunken young German tourist from a van, who died after being run over. "I'd rather be at a polling station than be part of a jury again. I didn't like it. It was a very unpleasant experience having to listen to testimony from both sides, often of a technical nature, dealing with issues you don't understand. You have to pay close attention. The judge always told us you wouldn't pass. She doubted whether she had enough judgment to assess certain data and make a decision. Besides, if you don't make a decision, a non-response counts in favor of the accused, so not taking a position is impossible," says this civil servant, whom the court summoned to be a juror just two months before her term expired.
