Meaning?
Hi,
Could you please tell me what is the meaning of we did those people in the following text?
"There's been a lot of publicity. The press conference MR. Schlichtmann had in Woburn after the verdict was totally inappropriate. Any juror may have heard it-goodness knows how they could have avoided it if they kept their ears opened. The jury may think, Gee whiz, we did those people in, and we hadn't intended to do that".
Thanks

we did those people in It's slang. Depending on context, it means we caused them very serious problems, we damaged their situation, or even (not in your example) we killed them Clive
