Bridgewater's was the indoor one, in the SW corner of the building. Small footprint (still vacant) bar and some hightops. Clock on the wall intentionally 10min fast. Solid rotating selection of beers, and surprisingly very good food. Perfect third space - great spot for a cheeky pint, or to kill time if your train was delayed. No surprise that it didn't survive the decrease in regional rail commuting though.

It sounds like there was literal reasonable doubt. The lesbian part was not in evidence, and that's on the prosecutor (maybe they were constrained by the victim's preference not to bring it up in open court). But also, you don't KNOW that you made the wrong call. People do things that are out of character when they're drunk. You just have doubt now, and tie goes to the runner - doubt, acquit = legally appropriate outcome.

>Been hoping for another chance

This doesn't seem like healthy mindset for a potential juror...

Make peace with it - as the judge told you "probably the right call given the evidence".

You chose wisely.
