There are some real lulu's on this jury.
1:08 PM Nov. 21
The jury charged with deciding whether John A. Muhammad lives or dies for his role in last year's sniper shootings was sent home shortly after 1 p.m. and told to come back to court at 9 a.m. Monday.
A female juror asked Judge LeRoy Millette Jr. if she would be permitted to do legal research over the weekend. Millette emphatically told her that she was not to do any reading or Internet research that might relate to the case. He said she was required to base her decision on the evidence presented in court alone.
The woman persisted, asking whether she might be allowed to do research on cases other than this one. Millette insisted that she was not allowed to do any research.
Another juror, who had apparently planned to leave on a trip next week, told the judge, "My husband will kill me if I don't go on this trip." The judge told her that he didn't want to get involved with her personal situation, but that she had to be back Monday to continue deliberations.

What person in their right mind would argue with the judge. She should have been found in contempt of court and sent to jail for the weekend to conduct her research.

Arghhh! These women give the rest of us a bad name. There's a place for emotion, but not as a substitute for facts and reasoning. I'd like to think my emotions would be in favor of the grieving families and the victims whose lives were cut short.
