Who they admire most? Are we back in junior high school? What does that have to do with being a juror?

I wonder if they had a few math problems on this questionaire.

We should return to the Judicial Duel, or even Trial by Ordeal.
Either one beats having your fate decided by 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty.

Peter Principle Award to the judge, beyond level of competence.

(Please send money, I am running out of awards)

Among the jurors' most-admired people: Rapper Jay-Z, Ewan McGregor, and P.Diddy. The judge is right to be worried.

So was the nurse who tap danced through a litany of excuses.... "I think if you questioned her any more she was going to say she was a victim of the tsunami," Gotti attorney Jeffrey Lichtman told Scheindlin.

When I was questioned for jury duty I listened to a number of excuses that didn't work.
I went with honesty and it worked perfectly. I said "I couldn't judge anyone properly unless I could question them myself."

The "Who do you admire the most" question was sandwiched between "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" and "Answer yes or no - Have you stopped beating your wife?"

Pressed, one juror finally offered "myself."

Ah yes! The fruit of the school of self esteem rears it's prideful head!
