EXCLUSIVE: The juror who reportedly inadvertently tainted an entire jury pool by discussing the case joins Nancy LIVE tonight at 8 PM ET!
This lady is a mother of a single mother with a 3yr. old. They live with her!
It would be difficult for her to get away.
She is trying to help her daughter get on her feet!
Problem with using the homeless is many of them suffer from drug/alchol abuse or have mental issues.
Proberly won't be a smart idea.
It was the judges idea? I thought it was JB's suggestion ? :waitasec:
I think jury duty should be changed. I think the court should allow parents with children under the age of 5 (school age) to stay with them in the hotel or at least visit more than once a week. I also think they should provide child care during the trial at the court and as needed a long the way. Parents neeeding this could forgo the $30 a day which would cover the cost of childcare.
That way these parents could serve AND parents would have a mental break from the case on off hours. Just my opinion.
Am I the only one that thinks the HHJP's idea about screening the homeless shelter is a good one? The state is ALREADY paying for the shelter. It might actually save the state money and provide more space for others needing shelter to have the ones in sound mind and body, willing and able to serve, serve. They have the time, won't be a issue of financial hardship, why not? THey would get 3 hot meals, $30 a day, a nice hotel, entertainment...might come out of this refreshed and prepared to start anew.
Plus, they are homeless and prob jobless. Which would be very close to KC's situation. I think it's a excellent idea.
