..the “system” has been dumbed down for so many years that
one can understand why people avoid serving. Doing your civic duty has become a farce. A small business owner, or a sales person can easily lose his or her job if called for grand jury duty. Who hasn’t been called and openly hoped that it’s not your named called to sit on a jury where the time and lost wages could extend to over a year. I can only imagine what it must be like to be sequestered.....to say that after a few months, the present “me first” attitude would not have an effect on a decision
Now throw in a circus type atmosphere,tv camera’s, wave to the camera, “hi Mom”.......and a Judge and defense that sees a book deal in the future....remember Judge Ito?.. and the request to him to have monitor of his computer adjusted so the millions of TV viewers could see the Sony logo seen?
What could anyone honestly expect?. Justice?
