SF has a history of enacting unusual laws, including the notorious “ugly law” of 1867 that prohibited ‘unsightly’ people from using public spaces. Needless to say, the city’s judicial system has evolved considerably since then to incorporate intricate legal frameworks aimed at promoting justice and equality. Now, this system is on full display at ‘The Jury Experience’ in San Francisco — a nail-biting 60-minute trial simulation that ultimately gets you to decide… guilty or not guilty?
