I once knew someone who was on a jury and bought a newspaper on the morning before court started for what would be the last day of the trial. She planned on reading it after it was all over. So, she put it in the back seat of her vehicle and proceeded on to court. Apparently, a defense attorney spotted her when she purchased it, along with her coffee, at a convenience store that morning. He turned her in.
She was found in contempt and fined $35,000. This woman was a saint compared to most of us. No matter, they prosecuted her to the full extent of the law.
