Who knew that a strike was coming since they just seated #12? Raise your hand!

 

[Zoe Bogart]

How obvious is it that JB is trying his best to keep the number of jurors below 12? Mister Baez, we have your number.

 

[mitzi]

What is with the little giggle after each statement by this juror?

 

[Shadow5618]

I admire HHJP's restraint. If I were him, I would come across that bench and punch Jose Baez in the nose!

 

[Eye Wonder]

Doesnt JB need a reason for why he wants to strike a PJ? TIA.

 

[TiaM]

As much as ICA touches her eyes, nose and mouth, she for sure has picked up about 753 viruses from the people around her.
