Juror #3340: Woman. No hardship. Employer (Target) won't pay her, but it won't be an issue because she has enough money saved and isn't responsible for many bills. No family or medical issues. Married but no children. No summer plans.

Called back for 2nd round.

Ironic!!!

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Yes it is actually. Never watch tv I take it.

You know what? I like to TIVO shows so I can speed through the commercials - that may be the problem.

I served on a jury for two weeks several years ago on a homocide case. We had just sold our home and were in the process of moving to a new home. The day the jury deliberated was the day the movers moved our stuff. My kids were in elementary and friends pitched in picking them up from school. It was rough but I felt it was my civic duty.

Thank you for doing that!

I find it a little disappointing that so few seem to be willing to take on a certain amount of challenges to insure that this little girl gets justice. But I'm partial to that outcome, I guess.

The judge likes them to mention where they work when they are paying for jury duty. Nice way to advertise for them. :rocker:

I agree. And nice to shame the big ones that don't. BUT I know that many small companies just can't afford to pay someone who isn't coming to work for 6-8 weeks, plus pay someone else to come fill in for them. It may not be possible for a small shop of <10 employees. But bigger companies should do better.

Keeping Target employee . . .

But they are looking for people with VALID driver's licenses. That will weed out the drug addicts most likely. I am sure the managers of the shelters know which one's are capable of taking on this task. It will be like winning the lottery for someone. lol

I don't think it can be considered a "random pool" if a shelter manager is hand-picking people to be considered...I have to think the judge was kidding.

 

[Softail]

Ironic!!!

:nono:

KARMA!

 

[uklaw]

I bet the managers of the homeless shelter will know of the people there who have good potential. There are often good, smart people who just ran into bad luck- Foster children who have aged out of the system, working class people who lost jobs, divorcees, veterans, etc.

I am actually kind of excited about it. JB thinks having minority jurors is going to benefit him. I think it will be just the opposite. They will see a very spoiled girl who had everything handed to her, and she blew it. imoo

If the Defense get hold of the suggestion that the homeless shelter managers were "picking out" good candidates for jury duty then I am almost certain we will hear about it on appeal.

 

[Nana46]

Note to CM..............not ALL of us take a frigging vacation every year.......geesh.

 

[PMLsmom]

What is a "family of sorts?"
