Woman sentenced to indefinite jury duty after making racist remarks on a questionnaire

I know it’s not a good idea to tick-off a judge, but isn’t this an overreach on the part of the judge? The woman hasn’t been charged with anything and he is depriving her of her liberty. If it’s contempt, then put her in a cell. Don’t put her on a jury where she can only gum up the works.

[B Knotts]

If she really wanted out of jury duty, there is a much easier way. Just say, “I believe juries have the right to judge the law, as well as the facts.”

[RockinRight]

I would have said “liberals, communists, and welfare recipients.”

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I wonder what would have happened if she had said . . . 0bama, Biden and Pelosi?

[null and void]

Last two times I was rejected for jury duty Hizzonner made a point of informing all of the jury pool that "None of this 'jury nullification nonsense' would be tolerated in his fair court"!

[RockinRight]

ROFL great episode.

[DManA]

Very good.

This intolerant boob thinks Jury Duty is a punishment.

[dfwgator]

This intolerant boob thinks Jury Duty is a punishment.

And the tyrant judge just proved it.

'Name three people you least admire'

That's easy:

Barry Soetoro
Barak Soetoro
Barak Hussein Obama

[dfwgator]

I would have said “liberals, communists, and welfare recipients.”

A distinction without a difference.

[ßuddaßudd]

Asians are racist?

[Terry Mross]

The judge’s actions are the outrage! I don’t think a judge can “punish” you for being a racist.

She should have said “There’s one more group I don’t trust: crooked judges.”

[3D-JOY]

I have not been lucky enough to avoid jury duty.

I hated every day of it and did not even like the people who ended up serving with me. They had pre-judged it all after opening statements and then went on to prove their point in discussions.

I do believe the slant of this story is incorrect, however.

[Red Badger]

I would have said “liberals, communists, and welfare recipients.”

At the risk of being redundant...............

[Cardhu]

It seems like the judge is guilty of subornation of perjury.

[null and void]

She should have said: “There were only 3 choices. Had there been 4; “judge” would have been choice number 4”

Young lady, are you trying to show your contempt of court?

No, your Honor, I'm trying to conceal it.

[dfwgator]

Juries consist of people who aren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.

[DManA]

Hey! We’re playing Jeopardy here. You response needs to be in the form of a question.

[myrabach]

Jury Duty is supposed to be a responsibility of the citizenry. Many look on it as punishment and something to be avoided. Should someone who doesn’t want jury duty be selected? I’ve always wanted to serve on a jury! I’ve only been called once but the trial I was selected to jury was not started that day so I was free to go.

Um? Freedom of speech anyone? Since when was “holding adverse views against a particular community” a crime?
