BOSTON - Sen. John Kerry's public profile and prosecutorial past didn't spare him from performing that most mundane of civic responsibilities — jury duty.
Kerry was not only chosen this week to sit on a jury in Suffolk Superior Court, but also was elected foreman.
The case involved two men who sued the city for injuries suffered in a 2000 car accident involving a school principal. The Kerry-led jury rejected their claim Tuesday, and his fellow jurors said the state's junior senator was a natural leader.
"I just found him to be a knowledgeable, normal person," said Cynthia Lovell, a nurse and registered Republican who says she now regrets voting for President Bush in last year's election. "He kept us focused. He wanted us all to have our own say."
The former Democratic presidential candidate reported for duty Monday and none of the lawyers in the case objected to putting him on the jury.
"I was a little surprised," Kerry said of being selected for jury duty.
"I enjoyed it," he said. "It was very, very interesting and very instructive."
Well you have to understand that Super HEros like John kill em all Kerry have access to weapons that mortals like us don't. It's one of the major advantages of being a super HEro....that and you get to wear nifty looking tights.
"16 hours later John Kerry was still trying to explain his 'guilty but not guilty' verdict!"
Guilty in one of the two Americas, not guilty in the other.
>>"I'm normally a straight ticket Republican, but this year I'm voting for Mondale/Dukakis/Clinton/Gore/Kerry!"
A registered Republican who now regrets having voted for
Bush? Yeah, right.
There were many "Democrats for Bush" last time; how many
"Republicans for Kerry" voters were there?

CHRISTMAS CAROL PARODY TIME (lyrics by me)
Have yourself a Kerry little Christmas
Cozy all the way
While the seat of power lies so far away
You'll be just one more lib in the Senate
Thanks to W
You won't live on Pennsylvania Avenue
Ketchup heiress has lots of dough
Lots and lots of dough, to spend
It won't buy you the White House though
For the voters know, my friend
Mondale, Gore, and also Mike Dukakis
Know just how you feel
When voters see you, they see you have no appeal
SO have yourself a Kerry little Christmas now
Doesn't everybody here own five mansions?

Seminar Juror.
Holy straw polls, Batman, of course he let everyone on the jury have their say ... it was the only way he could figure out how to vote.
LOL
"Do you know where I can get me a huntin' license?"
(Behind the scenes in the jury room)
"Do you know who I am? I was in Vietnam! I have Purple Hearts! I am a senator! I have married two (count them) two rich women! I am now married to the ketchup queen! I was almost the President of the United States! So, d@mmit, I deserve to be foreman of this jury!!"
What are you on, and how can I contact your supplier?
Lawyers, doctors, members of the clergy, elected officials, police officers, and judges must serve when called.Source: Office of Jury Commissioner

Kerry really was cut out to be a lawyer, wasn't he?
>>>This is so typical of the LSM. There is NO WAY this woman is a true republican/conservative who now wishes John Kerry had been elected. NO WAY! (rolling eyes)>>>
This was a thumb your nose hit piece by the dummies at AP. This line was irrelevant and had nothing to do with the story, but to make the dipwad writing the story feel better about voting for a LOSER.
Many states relaxed their rules on lawyers serving jury duty.
Well, at least Kerry won ONE election. Of course, it was just another Massachusetts election in Boston, where the most liberal Democrat always wins.
I bet Kerry told the jury that many foreign leaders privately told him that they wanted him to be Jury Foreman.

Jury Foreman are appointed by the Judge in Ma. they do not hold elections. It was stunt by his cronies on the court to beef up the story. Still a lying POS.
