2011.05.09 - Jury Selection Day One

[Dr.Fessel]

Would not be good to have that woman on the jury for Casey if her dog died during the trial.

 

[logicalgirl]

Wow! JB disclosing that he had an encounter with this juror in Spanish.

JB wants her, but isn't forthcoming about what the question/answer were.

Hmmmm....

Maybe that's what the fuss was with the guards - maybe they spotted him.

 

[dog.gone.cute]

I love Judge Perry. He really gets amused by some of these people.

:great::great::great:

Yes ... :HHJP: is in a very good mood today ! :woohoo:

And :HHJP: makes the "prospective jurors" feel very at ease and comfortable. :woohoo:

 

[Marina2]

[TigerBalm]

OMG....JB had an interaction with a prospective juror!!!!!!!!

She asked him a question in Spanish.

Why the HE77 was he anywhere near the jurors?????????????

And why wouldn't JB bring this up to the court before the juror was called into the room??????

 

[lonetraveler]

Right, but someone who goes into it knowing she cannot convict, guilty or not, should not serve, she is just as biased.

I totally agree, this would most likely end in a hung jury. Hope she does not get seated.

 

[Joanner]

How many jurors have they gone through up to now?

 

[Softail]

I just love all of the people who have children to care for!

Do ya hear that Casey? :gavel:

 

[watergirl]

WOW! JB is admitting to having interaction with this lady at lunch. She spoke to him in spanish. I'm shocked he admitted it.

Mr. George asking about the interaction - JB saying she only asked him if he spoke spanish.

BBM

and thats the happiest he has looked all day. sheesh.

 

[Amil]

A five year old described by HHJP as a child of tender years!! Yay HHJP!!!

 

[TiaM]

They have done at least 4 jurors since I came back and Judge Perry hasn't told any of them that they are not on camera.

Just watch, DT will try to use that to get an extension or dismissal! :loser:

<Unusual people>

 

[angelmom]

I think they could have saved a TON of time if they had filtered these jurors a little better.

There is no reason for an 82 year old man or a single father of a 5yo to have wasted their day at the courthouse (or maybe send them over to another trial that wouldn't involve 6-8 weeks of sequestration out of town).

What a HUGE WASTE of time.

There is no freaking way they're going to pick a jury in a week.

 

[sleutherontheside]

Poor Judge has to speak all day.....getting cottonmouth.

 

[tpgks]

Another single father. I don't suppose the DT would want them on the jury.

Agreed. Typically in my area the father only gets full custody if the mother is a frequent criminal or dope head.

 

[LolaMoon08]

So we're at 1 African American 2 Asian and now 4 Hispanic in this group of jurors. That I could tell from sound only. I'm just keeping track because JB made such a big deal about it.

Ummm... I thought if you were on probation you couldn't serve on a jury? I guess if it wasn't for a felony that would be the difference. I'm talking about the guy up now.

 

[Leila]

This man sounds elderly - both he and his wife have medical issues

 

[okiedokietoo]

Juror # 1395
Male - yes hardship just started new job - been unemployed for 2 years - works AAA - on probation at job not sure would compensate - wife has medical issues have trouble handling household and deaf one ear amp in other

No questions
Excused
