Judge says juror having heart attack ‘can wait’: witness

Now that’s bad judgment.

A Queens father-to-be is lucky to be alive after a judge allegedly ignored his pleas to be excused from a jury pool when he complained about searing pains in his chest, court documents reveal.

Nyima Dorjee, 39, of Woodside was sitting in a jury pool on a gun possession trial last week when he told a prosecutor that he was having chest pains and difficulty breathing, according to a report filed by the officer.

But when the court officer informed Justice Joel Blumenfeld of the emergency, the judge insisted to him and his supervisor that the prosecutor had to finish his round of questions.

“There’s a few more minutes left,” the judge said, according to a witness. “They can wait.”

The officers removed the juror anyway, and called for help. Dorjee was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where doctors determined he was having a heart attack.

What do you call a failed attorney? “Your Honor”.

Or "Rep." or "Senator"...

Oh, and "Mr. President"

Fortunately, there was no dog in the courtroom to be shot.

conservatives must literally take over the law schools and purge them of left wing professors and kooky socialist students.

The idiot juror actually waited for the judge to give him permission to live? Where are the men in our culture?

It sounds like the juror wasn’t in shape to do much. The court officers ignored the judge and helped the juror, though.

Attorneys in shabby polyester Halloween robes. Good work if you can get it.

“From what I have seen, judges are basically politically well connected shysters wearing black robes.”

From what I have seen you are correct. I have never been a defendant in a criminal court but I would hate to be one. I have never seen arrogance comparable to that of a judge on his throne.

“I have never seen arrogance comparable to that of a judge on his throne.”

Nor I a prosecutor bypassing the throne, bringing a more serious trumped up felon charge to force a plea bargain to lesser felon or felonies...deserved or not. Prosecutors don’t care as it’s all about their “win/loss ratio”.

In before the Freepers who say he deserved to die for interrupting a job.

They never showed up, did they? They are probably scared of your awesomeness.

Don't you just hate it when those conservative rubes at FreeRepublic don't prove to be the jerks you just know they are.

Well; keep up your low expectations.
