Casey don't seem to be turning on the water works so far.

Yeah, not even when listening to how her wee baby was thrown in a dumping ground in the most callous and cruel way. The potential juror sure found that upsetting - in fact he thought it was THE most upsetting thing he knew about the case.

Not icA though. Nothing upsetting about that for her. She didnt even bat an eye. :(
 
JP asking the juror if he can make his decision based on the law and not his own feelings. Juror says yes. Would have no problem voting for death.
 
He seems like a logical juror, which means the DT will strike him
 
Judge teaching JB how to ask juror's questions according to the law not JB's motives.
 
HHJP : Do you realize that the determination for punishment is according to THE LAW and not what YOU think?
Juror : yes
HHJP : If facts in this case support it, would you have any problem in recommending a sentence of death
Juror : No sir
 
Uh oh, they are reading us!

Thank goodness you posted, lol, you are where I get my live link!


Just jumping off here to only do one post:

I don't feel this guy is necessarily trying too hard to get on the jury, etc. etc.
I was called for jury duty a while back, and for that brief time period, probably about a week, IIRC, I was on call 24/7, and it would have had a severe negative impact on my business had I been picked. Around here, it is a $75 no show fine, and I've never heard of the court around here even pursuing it. It would have been easier and cheaper for me to just be a no-show, rather than shut my office down for the time it took me to go in and hang out all day waiting to speak to the court. But I went, because I am really uncomfortable 'breaking the law' and being dishonest. When the judge asked about hardship, I went forward and explained my situation, and the judge was awful to me. I explained as clearly as possible this was just a short term situation that popped up a few times a year where I was the only one available, and someone has to be available at all times. The hardship is on me, but it is also on my employees in a major way, if it just affected me I would have sucked it up. I even told her I would be willing to do it if the trial was not starting for another week, because I would be free and clear. She gave me an extension to come in for the next trial, but she was a real witch about it.

Sorry for rambling, but my point is, had she not let me go, I would have answered any questions honestly, even if it led to me being picked and caused me major hardship. I don't believe I'm in the minority of people who feel this way.
 
Mendara!!! I forgot the best part. When LDB was up, she asked this witness if he knew who Jose Baez is and he said I have no idea. LOL.
 
ICA wants him striken, I beleive, she just started writting after His HOnor said about applying the law...JMHO
 
Surprised ICA is sitting there like a good girl with all the talk of the death penalty.
 
I have a little feeling HHJP will be giving a little smack down re: time restrictions after this potential juror leaves the room. If not this PJ, then after a few more. DT can't take 1/2 hr or more with each person. :rolleyes:
