2011.05.20 Jury Selection DAY ELEVEN (Morning Session)

[GetSmart]

Wants to know what he has read and likes to and is reading ..............
Wants to know if PJ will recognize their game plan ////

 

[Wise Old Owl]

Which doesn't make any sense actually. If DUI is an issue, why are these people eligible for jury duty to begin with? I don't get it.

Only way you're not eligible for jury duty here is being a convicted felon. However, that's not always the case. We have a friend who is (convicted felon) he got summoned to jury duty - told the baliff that he was - they did nothing and he served his jury duty!!!! So go figgger :waitasec:

TOTALLY OTTTTTTTTTTTTTT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:great: :great: :great:

Congrats WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On your promotion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rocker:

Aaawww thank you. I don't think it was O/T. I was curious because this guy is HS teacher and wonder if the DS was HS age.

Interesting that CM just said "11 angry men" are out there......


THat is IMO a tell that demonstrates his chauvinistic beliefs. couple that with his comment about meeting his wife (his secretary at the time) before sexual harassment!

 

[Insomnia Momma]

I have to wonder at times if CM uses chew? With the way he speaks as if he has marbles in his mouth...

I'm deaf in one ear and I have a lot of trouble understanding him sometimes, he sounds so muffled.

OT: Don't we have a juror with a hearing problem or was he excused? I wonder if he is still there if he'll have trouble when CM is up asking questions?

 

[jmfstl]

wow, the court room is full

They are saying in twitter that about 20 people just came in and the courtroom is filling up. I think everyone is expecting the jury to be sworn today

I can only hope that happens.

 

[mombomb]

LOL - I keep thinking HHJP is getting ready to make an inappropriate comment about a PJ when he says Juror #... is an odd.......

 

[Mystic]

Loves murder mysteries......he's gonna be gone........

yeah, I don't understand that at all, most everything is a mystery in one way or another imo

CM really gives me the creeps

 

[Softail]

The stinky squirrel strikes at midnight! :giggle:

 

[Intermezzo]

Lots of peeps in the courtroom today. Yeah Kathi B!!

I will assume they are all seated behind the Prosecution Team

 

[Baznme]

The defense wanted those folks on the jury.

I guess my point is 'if they are eligible to serve on a jury' and are not convicted felons, why is that even an issue? It wouldn't be any different than anyone receiving a ticket for speeding, jaywalking, etc. It was a violation of the law and they paid their dues.......so how does that affect how they may vote on a jury?

 

[camcneishg]

I saw the BIG CIRCLE!!

[logicalgirl]

I think FACTION is our word of the day...

When I think about CM - the word "friction" comes to mind...:great:

 

[Wholehearted]

Who is sitting next to ICA? The woman with the dark hair.

An defense attorney named Lisabeth Fryer. She argued the motion re. jury selection the other day.

 

[Aedrys]

What significance does reading any of these books have on one's ability to be a juror? Does he really think people can't distinguish fact from fiction? Or he is showing off his own reading skills?

I bet Casey is one of those people that hates to read. And she probably hates people that like to read since they tend to have a larger vocabulary and can speak and present themselves better. Add reading murder mysteries on top of that, and there's the fear of a Miss Marple or Sherlock Holmes being on the jury! The DT and Casey can't have that!

 

[jen&jonhart]

I dont have a problem with him sharing what he learns with his student's. Sounds like a great teacher.
