2011.05.09 - Jury Selection Day One

[Melanie]

If I have to listen to Mason go through this for 130 people, I'm going to have to go take a nap and come back later.

See ya my friends -- I need to keep my sanity.

Hugs to everyone who can hang in there.

Who knows, JB may think that AA or Hispanics enjoy killing their children.

Good Lord

MOO - my opinion only!!!!

Mel

No kidding. Way to alienate the minorities who are there, and way to alienate the other jurors who aren't minorities! Great start, Baez!

 

[ablins]

Wow I cannot believe he would bring that up with Zenaida Fernandez Gonzales being a piece of the missing puzzle, seriously, if this is any peek as to what the next few weeks will be like GOOD GRIEF!

 

[CuriousHousewife]

Allergies? Gosh, I was a juror on a 3rd strike, 25 to life trial which could have gone months and I was asked maybe 3 questions! They ARE thorough!

 

[joypath]

Repeating what I said at the end of the Side-bar:

Am I right in thinking that the court staff have deliberately given ICA a smaller chair than the Attorneys?

:twocents: In ALL courtrooms where I've :innocent: testified or attended proceedings of CRIMINAL nature, the defendant is PUT in a chair without wheels....in essence to "slow down any escape or "abnormal" movement"!:woohoo::woohoo:

 

[Sammiejam]

JB. Really??? REALLY???

You need to go read some of those RACIST comments in the letters by YOUR CLIENT. Also those made by her mother.

That move had about as much *genius* and forethought as the one that got Judge S. removed from the case.

(The man is special. VERY VERY SPECIAL.)

 

[daisy7]

Now asking about his employment -- the employer by law cannot fire someone for serving on a jury, right?

 

[twall]

juror would get paid when he is gone-I think he is in! jmo

 

[strach304]

Who is the woman at the SA's table?

 

[Turnadot]

This potential juror sounds nice and respectful, and he has a 7 year old daughter. I don't think the DT wants him on the jury, imo.

 

[repairmom]

KC gave a "concerned" look when the pot. juror said his 7 year old daughter would have a hard time being away from him. Gag.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

CM trying to get Juror to admit hardship because of Job - to me, Juror sounds "ready" to serve

 

[Softail]

Is it just me, or is CM trying to talk this person out of being a juror? :waitasec:

 

[mommyofthreekidz5]

Not looking so smug now, are we Casey ? Scared? You should be. I'm sure your daughter was too .

 

[nursebeeme]

they won't like this guy (defense)... he has a 7 year old daughter that he is very close to

 

[LiveLaughLuv]

didnt quite catch it, but ICA winced when the potential jurist mentioned his daughter

the smirk is finally wiped off that face....

 

[snowshuze]

CM won't take this juror because he has a loving relationship with his daughter.IMO.

 

[Shear22]

This first potential juror sounds like he really wants to be picked. Maybe it has something to do with that 7 year old daughter who is going to miss him so much if he is gone for 2 months.

 

[Scamperoo]

CM doesn't want a guy with a daughter he obviously loves on the jury....

 

[belle3]

Mason....the guy is stating he doesnt have a problem with it. Lets move on. Here comes the internet questions
