I can't believe what a juror just said to me.

A lady I work with has been on jury duty the past few weeks. They are off today.

This is her exact quote: "I'm leaning toward the defense 'cause I watch CSI and the prosecutor ain't got none of that sh*t, you know what I'm sayin'."

 

[Custom+Hybrid]

Wow geez thats pretty horrible.

Sounds about right. Just think of all the crazy/ignorant people you meet in your travels as a person in this society. They could all be a "jury of your peers." Reason enough not to commit crimes.

This lady is awesome.

I believe it. There was a story in the Sacramento Bee a few weeks ago that discussed how hard it is to get convictions now because of the CSI and Law n Order shows. Juries expect every department to have the latest equipment and to look as hi tech as those fictional shows.

By the way, call the judge and tell him that she was talking outside of court, get a mistrial declared.

Fortunately for us she's a juror in Sacramento Co., not Yolo, lol.

god, everybody is a critic these days.

I can't wait till the trial is over so I can hear her describe the painful logic she used to reach her conclusion. She's very nice but she is the definition of an airhead.

I'm picturing a hung jury cause she's in deliberations saying, "But on CSI...."

I stopped her from talking any more about it. I had just asked her if it was criminal or civil.

She is the kind of jury that the defense attorneys love to pick.

 

[MIGHTY MANFRED THE WONDER]

You would have thought they would excuse her, since she worked so hard on the O.J. trial and all.

Anyone remember the ********* from HealthSouth, and his use of religion?

Uhg.
