Jury selection is ridic....how about some qualifiations? a high school education? never having been in jail? no relatives in jail? how about someone with reading comprehension and reasoning skills? someone with a JOB?
I didn’t pick them nor would I of. Take it up with Fla. officials if you have a problem.
My husband was involved in a case here. He was a member of the local Plan Commission. The Commission held a meeting to discuss the Master Plan for the City, which was noticed in the newspaper of record as usual. The neighborhood turned out (which shows they knew about it) and some of the Aldermen showed up.
One disaffected neighbor sued the Plan Commission because he said the wording in the announcement was not correct and because more than 2 Aldermen attended which, legally, becomes something called a "walking quorum". A "walking quorum" is an esoteric distinction which means that presumably the 2 Aldermanic members who came to the meeting could have blocked any decision taken later.
In any case, all of the Plan commission was found guilty, even though they had nothing to do with publishing the notice, or the wording of it. The City Clerk (a paid employee) takes care of publishing and wording all public notices. Yet, the unpaid Plan Commission was found guilty of something they didn't do and never saw.
When they were choosing members of the jury, they allowed the spouse of one of my husband's employees to sit on the jury, a conflict of interest to be sure. My husband (her husband's boss) was one of the accused!
