D.A. Confronts 'Jury Pool From Hell'

Associated Press ^ | January 18, 2005

Another prospect volunteered he probably should not be on the jury: "In my neighborhood, everyone knows that if you get Mr. Ballin (as your lawyer), you're probably guilty." He was not chosen.

BAHAHAHA!!!

What happened? Did the O.J. Simpson jury relocate to Memphis?

[Cagey]

"I'm on morphine and I'm higher than a kite."

LMAO! What a country!

[dead]

The case involved a woman accused of hitting her brother's girlfriend in the face with a brick. Ballin's client was found not guilty.

I'm sure the wrongly accused is currently out searching for the real brick swinger!

Thanks for the ping. This article is priceless.

Another would-be juror said he had had alcohol problems and was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover officer. "I should have known something was up," he said. "She had all her teeth."

This is hysterical!

[litehaus]

Remember the "good ol' days" when a jury was drawn from registered voters, and not anybody with a drivers lisc?????

"I'm on morphine and I'm higher than a kite."

Wow, I'm going to have to try a line like that next time I get pegged for jury duty.

[FormerACLUmember]

Ah yes, another fine jury pool of 100% democrat party voters. All set to hear a complicated medical malpractice case.

My wife will be in this jury pool Feb 7. They got me last year.

Just another day for AP reporting on red state voters. If AP would look into the crimes that go on in mega-blue Massachusetts, they might really be shocked.

[Graybeard58]

I like George Carlin's method. He says he told the judge, "Your honor let me on that jury, I can tell if the bastard is guilty just by looking at him".

[JFK_Lib]

Glad to see the faith all these posters have in their fellow man and, implicitly, the democratic process.

This article is funny, but statistically anamolous.

I would expect such groupings to be far more common if one were taking ones samples from the typcial local college's humanities faculty.

:P

> I'm going to have to try a line like that next time I get pegged for jury duty.

George Carlin had some good ones...

"I'm prejudiced agaisnt all races."
"I'd make a good juror cuz I can spot the guilty just like [snap] *that*."
"That's him! He's the one!"

[Old Professer]

Character assasination is a practice better left to the practiced.

[spetznaz]

Haha Ping!

[Old Professer]

Where are all the good assassins when you need them?

[Jaysun]

Right after jury selection began last week, one man got up and left, announcing, "I'm on morphine and I'm higher than a kite."

HAHAHAHAHA!!
