I'm not saying that this guy should have had to pull jury duty. Obviously, he should and could have been exempted. They weren't asking him to kowtow before the judge and beg for mercy. If he could have mustered 2 minutes of self control, he wouldn't be in jail.

Like the example I stated earlier about the cop; just because you are in the right doesn't mean you can curse out the law enforcement/judiciary for bothering you. No one asked him to kneel and kiss their pinky ring, they were just doing their jobs in a straightforward, professional manner. He reacted like he was speaking to someone at the bar who spilled beer on him on purpose.

If a cop pulls someone over for a traffic violation they don't think they did, do you think that they should be able to tell him to screw off and drive away? Would that make this a better country?

"If he could have mustered 2 minutes of self control, he wouldn't be in jail."

You mean, if he could have mustered 8 hours of time away from his productive job supporting his family, to tell a "civil servant" judge what he needed to hear to compensate for the judge's own self esteem deficiencies (in comparison to his competent law school colleagues who are earning triple his salary, voluntarily paid), he wouldn't have been sentenced by that judge?
