Faced with the prospect of serving as a juror and upset that County Judge R. James McCune Jr. denied her request for dismissal, the 23-year-old insulted the presiding judge by calling him a two-syllable curse word—a crude term referring to the anus — within earshot of several of the other 178 potential jurors seated in the Jury Assembly Room.

Her problem is that she waited until she got before the judge to try to get dismissed from jury duty. Once you're in the courtroom, it's too late. They've got you hooked.

Nah, just tell them the police wouldn't have arrested the defendant if they weren't pretty sure he was guilty.
