Prosecution or Defense, there’s ZERO chance I want an irritated Mom in the jury box. Just...NONE.
That’s not very Christian of the Court to refuse any accommodation. Wild Guess who keeps refusing her: Some single man who has never had kids and supports zero population growth.
Just to get even, she should report for Jury Duty - Topless!
That’ll teach’em.
Yep, don’t mess with the momma bear...
Stop complaining. Bring the little one, all the little ones. They can play around you while you nod off. Defendent’s attorney will make your point for you.
Like in that one Chris Rock video where he tells people to leave their angry woman at home if they don’t want to get beat by th police.
The way I read the headline I thought someone was SUING an 8 month old.
I figured it was some lefty lawyer.
It does read as though a newborn has been named as a Plaintiff in a lawsuit, due to refusal of the newborn to
‘negotiate’.
In New Jersey, at least, being the fulltime caregiver for a minor child is a valid excuse from Jury Duty.
The kid will be a fine lawyer someday.
Buck up buttercup. Having a little carbon footprint doesn’t absolve you from your civic duty.
You'd get more sympathy from a computer than a bureaucrat.
In a strange coincidence, every single time I’ve had surgery in the past 13 years (4 times), I’ve gotten a jury summons shortly before it. The surgery got me out of it. I have a surgery coming up next month. I’m wondering if I’ll get another jury summons soon.
I think you have it backwards. Environmentalists are against people having children.
That leads me to a question: Would you rather do jury duty or have an operation?
In the British system, as I recall, they don’t allow all the juror challenges by the lawyers on both sides. If they need a dozen people for a jury, they call in 14, and pretty much unless you’re related to the defendant, you’re going to be on that jury.
I was always excused from jury duty when I said I had young kids at home. After that, I’ve gone in every time I’ve been called (county and Federal) and never tried to get out of it. Only once did I come anywhere close to being seated. A young woman asked to be excused because she was a minimum-wage hourly employee. Her employer would give her the time off, but she wouldn’t get paid. The trial was expected to run 1-2 weeks. She said she wouldn’t be able to pay her rent if she was on the jury (jury stipends here were $5/day). The judge said no. Who would want that person on the jury - she’d be worrying the whole time about where she was going to live. The prosecutor kicked me out before they questioned her, so I never knew whether or not she ended up serving.
Barrister. In the UK system there are two classes of lawyer. Solicitors who do things like contracts, wills, etc. and Barristers who argue in court.

May I suggest that you either include a sock tag or get off free republic, as it appears you along with every other leftist is doing everything possible to deny biology and make children wards of anybody except their own parents.
There’s so much being censored these days, but starting in the late 50s, so it was all of the information showing the damage to babies from bottlefeeding, including asthma from undersized sinus cavities. Bottlefeeding changes the shape of actual bone structure.
