Brandon Aubrey, the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, unexpectedly found himself serving on a jury for a week, which included a domestic violence case that resulted in a 65-year sentence for the defendant. Despite believing his NFL status would exempt him, he was surprised by the experience, describing it as eye-opening and depressing.
Aubrey, who set an NFL record for consecutive successful kicks last year, had to juggle his jury duties with his preparation for an upcoming game. He reflected on the challenges of practicing in less-than-ideal conditions due to his jury obligations.
