"Why is that?"
How many people on Manhattan Island and the surrounding area do you think really support the war?
Anyone other than Sheehan would probably get some jail time for the same behavior.
Believe it or not there ARE GOPers and CONSERVATIVE ones at that, living in Manhattan and they get called to jury duty and serve. I know this because I had jury duty in Manhattan.
Where do YOU live? Have you ever lived in Manhattan?
And NO, people from the "surrounding area" ( are you referring to the four other burrows that comprise N.Y.C., along with Manhattan ? ) do NOT get to serve jury duty in places they do not live in.
She just might have to serve some jail time, but since she has no priors there, I'm not holding my breath.
I don't know. Do you know?
