2011.05.14 Jury Selection Day SIX (morning session)

[ynotdivein]

FG inquiring deeply into the hardship aspect. PT has odd jobs to make money, has credit card bills, couple of fines to pay (seatbelt, etc.) Did PT say he neither owns home nor rents?

PT may not be able to make bill payments if on jury for 6-8 weeks. Savings acct already depleted.

 

[Ricki]

Five walked in and said they think she is guilty. One PJ picked.:great:

Wow.
Any reaction from KC on those jurors. Facial expressions?

 

[Patty G]

WTH is going on here? Clearly they knew the other day he had no money. Did the defense request this juror to come back?

 

[Oakley]

I wonder if "mercy" has a legal definition? As opposed to a philosophical or theological def.

<Black's Law Dictionary>

Mercy: compassionate treatment, as of criminal offenders or those in distress; especially imprisonment, rather than death. Imposed as punishment for capital murder. See "Clemency."

 

[Softail]

This man needs to be excused. The DT wants him.

How can this not be hardship? He only works odd jobs, and has alot of debt.

 

[21merc7]

Lol, KC just looked out of the side of her eye when Judge P said you will paid the princely sum of $30 a day.

I guess she never knew how much jurors get paid, or anything about jury duty until now.

 

[Chiquita71]

Mr. George: you were concerned about being gone for months?

financially. I do odd jobs.

Mr. George: if you are pulled away and asked to sit for six to eight weeks, would that create a financial hardship for you?

I would have to say yes.

Mr. George: do you rent, own a home?

no.

Mr. George: what do you pay for?

credit card bills, car insurance, other bills that are due.

Mr. George: would it be fair to say you would not be able to make those payments?

I may not be able to.

Mr. George: do you have savings?

yes.

Mr. George: would it be fair to say if you did not have those odd jobs you would not be able to afford it?

Can't answer till I know how much?

HHJP: 110.00 a week. The clerk will pay you in cash every Friday. You will get either 12 or 14 dollars in quarters. So basically 210.00 a week.

 

[ebedeeb]

appears as if ICA thinks "her" check will arrive every friday....

 

[Patty G]

$14.00 a day for laundry? Did I hear that right?

 

[sleutherontheside]

So if people wear dirty stinky clothes they can pocket an extra 12-14$ a week.

 

[amysmom]

That last juror's MOM may have been watching like we are..If so, it had to be hard to hear what her son said re: her 'marriage' to an inmate..I'm sure she already knows but it's very diff to hear him tell it to the 'world'..It was a very awkward moment for me it had to be for her too IF she cares at all about her son..I'm hoping it helps to make her see the light!

She was also busted for not being 'honest' about her husband's crime..My guess is this poor kid's head is all screwed up over it..That was kinda obvious so for that reason alone I don't think he should have been acccepted.

 

[epiphany]

Judge: you will get paid 30./day every Friday. You will receive $14. (think week) for laundry.
You don't have to buy food-3 squares a day.

 

[hinman]

I bet the guy with no job living with his mom is excited about getting $210 a week.

 

[beach]

Good Morning my fellow Caylee devotees! :heartbeat:

:wave:

 

[belle3]

Just came here. Morning All! How we moving along today? Any Progress? KC is looking a bit arrogant today.

Seriously. I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[sleutherontheside]

$14 per week.

 

[Lera213]

I just logged on to let you all know that I have kept a list of ever POT Juror and this guy was never called on the first few days of hardship. He isn't on my list anywhere. I've been keeping running notes on everyone. I did not miss one minute of coverage either.

Where did they find this juror and why wasn't he in the first few groups at the beginning?

 

[Whome?]

So if people wear dirty stinky clothes they can pocket an extra 12-14$ a week.

:floorlaugh:

 

[21merc7]

$14.00 a day for laundry? Did I hear that right?

Whaaaat?! That is some expensive laundry, oh wait, dry cleaning!

 

[beach]

$14.00 a day for laundry? Did I hear that right?

I think he said per week.
