The results will be epic. First time in the history of NY Courts that the jury verdict was “you’re fired!”
Laws are for little people.
They should skip the politicizing and negativity and leverage this for the positive citizenship that Trump might demonstrate. He should embrace jury duty, which I think I heard him do in a comment elsewhere. Likely be dismissed but that is in the details.
Where I live I get one every year. They come in like clockwork. Everyone in our county gets one because our DA does not like to let criminals plea bargain.
I always get booted from the pool, but I always show up.
The only jury I was ever empaneled on didn’t go to trial because the defendant was smart enough to know that with that jury he was not going to get any mercy. We were all itching to hang him and he knew it.
Just tell them you believe in jury-nullification and you will be out of there in no time, Donald.
That “bombastic” bastard Trump!
This Trump guy is daily entertaiment for the masses.
More theater of the absurd. What lawyer would want The Donald serving on his jury?
He skipped jury duty, he’s ineligible for the White House.
Seems legit.
Plans are in the works, I’m sure...
To keep Trump stuck on a murder jury trial until November 5th of next year.
“Senator Ted Cruz slipped off his black cowboy boots, unbuckled his belt and glided through security on Friday morning to report for a different kind of civic responsibility: Jury duty.
Just like many of the other 100 or so Harris County residents summoned, Cruz set off the detectors’ alarm (Blame his watch). Just like many of them, he accidentally stole the court’s pen after filling out his information (He returned it). And just like many of them, Ted Cruz appeared painstakingly bored.
“Whether you’re new to the workforce or you may serve in Washington,” District Clerk Chris Daniel told the crowd, drawing laughs, “one way or another, we’re thankful you all came out here for jury duty today.”
Cruz, selected at random from the Harris County voter roll, did land on a jury panel for voir dire and will learn this afternoon whether he serves on a two-day trial for evading arrest set to begin Monday.
As a sitting U.S. Senator, Cruz could have been exempt from jury duty, but he said he was willing and able to serve on his first panel if attorneys decided they wanted Texas’ former solicitor general determining guilt in their felony criminal case.
“It would be a bit of a complication if I ended up in a six-week trial,” said the state’s junior senator, who is also seriously weighing a presidential bid next year, as he entered the Harris County Juror Plaza. “But I think, at the end of the day, that’ll work itself out.”
For two hours, Cruz waited and waited and waited, sipping his Starbucks coffee and twiddling his fingers until officials finally called out “Rafael Edward Cruz.”
"We'll hang'em in the morning, and THEN we'll giv'em a fair trial".
