What a real civic-minded bum, huh?? </ sarcasm>

Russell Yates is a one-man freak show.

[End Times Sentinel]

Oddly enough, I find this the most offensive thing he’s done to date. Straight on the heels of his wife’s trial in which he had no problem in requesting other citizens time to decide something that would have bearing on his life, he finds that he can’t do the same for others.

He should be thrown in the slam for a few nights to set an example. Ungrateful b@astard.

Yates missed his wife's formal sentencing Monday morning and his 12:15 p.m. jury call.

Okay, he missed jury duty (this could be understandably, given the fact that he has been preoccupied with his wife's murder trial.....), but to miss his wife's sentencing? He'd rather be on t.v.? It's highly unlikely he "forgot" about that......which makes me think he did not "forget" about jury duty, either.

Considering his comments and lack of personal accountability for the tragedy in his family I'm glad he's not on a jury. He doesn't have the sense to serve on one.

Ya, but what kind of freak show put him on jury duty a week after his wife got a life sentence? Ya, he's a piece of work, but you have to think that whoever is in charge of selecting people for jury duty is also a piece of work.

Who is running the jury duty system, the INS?

Had this happened where I live, there would have been a bench Warrent Issued!

So glad he missed this. I would not want this functional psycho to make any decisions on a jury.

PS: I now believe that Andrea was driven crazy and that when she killed her children, she was killing Russell by extension.

R. Yates played his wife into mental illness. He basically helped drive her into a psychotic world of Satan and crazy preachers and he knew that the outcome of all this would be very dangerous.

This really irritates me. I am being forced (well, not really since I could use age exemption) to report for jury service this week. You are searched, screened and examined too many times because the judges are paranoid. Jury pay is six dollars a day. Not enough to pay for parking or transportation. If you get put on a jury you are forced to eat at the worst places in town and pay for most of your meals out of your own pocket. I make my complaints known every time I go and still get put on a jury most of the time. I doubt if this low life will ever have to report for jury duty.

What a pig.

[Lady Jag]

An aside after reading 30-odd posts here, when Andrea looked around the courtroom at her formal sentencing yesterday and saw that her "devoted" husband wasn't there, my bet is she was not surprised.

[a history buff]

With his baggage, he'll never be put onto any jury for the next few decades.
