$NLST Gilstrap believes that juries almost always come to the right verdict. However, that doesn’t always mean he agrees with the jury’s decision. “I’ve presided over cases where the jury came to a result that was supported by evidence on the record, and I wasn’t going to disturb that verdict,” he said. “But I knew that if I had been on the jury, I would have reached a different result. However, I’m not here to impose my personal views into the system. That’s not my job.” Of the 40 to 50 jury trials he’s tried in his five years as Federal District Court Judge, he’s overturned just one jury verdict by judgment as a matter of law, reflecting his trust in juries’ decisions.
