It wasn't even that a large case (murder, but nothing publicized). Most people voted 'guilty' and I think the rest did just so they wouldn't be sequestered another night. Oh, and an older man clogged up the only toilet in the impanelling room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828158097601815711.post-77687063317421074952008-09-15T02:43:00.000-04:002008-09-15T02:43:00.000-04:00ContemptBack in the 80's I was called to jury duty...Contempt<BR/><BR/>Back in the 80's I was called to jury duty and arrived several minutes late. After I sat down a stunning young lady came in and sat next to me. We talked for awhile, hit it off and the next day went to lunch. Upon returning to the waiting area I got called on a case and was bused to a different area of the complex. As the justice began to weed out potential jurors (the accused was a person of color) several potentials blatantly stated their personal dislike for such individuals. The justice then asked if any of the remaining potentials had any other reason that they could not serve, I replied "yes, your honor". Asked what my reasoning was I said I'd rather not say in open court - so I was asked to approach the bench. Like an old EF Hutton commercial the Ass. DA and defense atty. cocked their ears as I told the judge that I just met a fabulous woman in the jury pool and not having got her number I was afraid if I got called on this case I would never see her again. Infuriated, the judge said "Get Out" as the people in the wings could not imagine what indiscretion had occurred. Two weeks later I met the girl in mid-town where she worked in a bar and was so inebriated I made an ass out of myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
