DT objecting....claiming the SA is discriminating PJ because of his age.

So let's get this straight.....ica who is MUCH older than this PJ should have the mitigation consideration of age however a potential juror who is YOUNGER than her they are going to complain that the state is discriminating against age? Hmmmmmm so the dt wants their cake and to eat it too?
 
Yay. He outright lied under oath about a pretty strong statement against police that one doesn't make casually!

Judge: State has a rational basis to exercise their strike. No reason to prevent state of using their strike.

Juror excused.
 
Ok so waste all this time on questions when they knew how old he was 5 days ago !! He answered each question like a mature adult..



Did I just hear gas pass (toot)? Right before asking this new Pot juror a social media question...
 
Look at my post #1034 … I think it may be wise for state … CA age group that is self-absorbed may not be best for the state … otherwise, I liked the fellow.
 
I think the State uncovered more than they let on and chose not to air it. Mr. George danced around the do you "go out in Orlando" question quite a bit. I think they found a photobucket account of something.

The SA would not just let him go...I just think they didn't need everything they had.
