Axel...It’s the modern age.
They invented Breast pumps a long time ago.
Most places I know of, you can get out of jury duty by claiming to be caring for someone who can’t take care of themselves, like an infant!!!
Can't use what ya' ain't got.
Oh. Come. ON.
If she’s breastfeeding, she should have been exempt from jury duty this time around.
That’s weird. I got out of jury duty when I was nursing one of my babies. They usually give you a delay. This is insane or we’re not getting the full story.
The machinery of justice cannot function without the wisdom and sound judgment they're known for.
Mothers with infants should be exempt.
Shall not be defied!
This judge is about to learn that when women are breastfeeding, that they have a lot of time to ponder how to make life a living hell for men who interfere with them breastfeeding.
And that every other woman will join with them in this effort.
I am waiting for the feminist hags to pop a complaint...
5. What if I care for a dependent child or adult?
A: If you have a dependent child or adult under your care, you may ask for a
postponement or excuse from jury service. Please keep in mind that many
citizens care for dependent children or adults, and only those situations
that would impose an “extreme hardship” in the judgment of the court may
be excused. (Section 494.430.)
A juror has even fewer rights than the accused has. The accused has a lawyer to determine what questions may be asked of him - the juror must answer ANY question put forth. Even questions that could never, ever be asked of the accused.
Just think. Women fought and died so that this woman could have the privilege of sitting on a jury. And she screws it all up by failing to abort her baby. Talk about selfish!
Anybody else find this a bit weird? So what sex is the child, hemaphrodite or transgender?
Still this looks like really stupid justice at first glance. Remember, the old saw about how do you address the dumbest lawyer in a court room ... answer is "Your Honor!" Likely a case of misunderstanding from the git-go when the mother could not get a legitimate excusal or delay. Still for this wording of ‘willfully and contemptuously appeared for jury service with her child and no one to care for the child’ is just about beyond the pale. Hope and pray that previously unavailable intelligence prevails!
What if you have no relatives who live close enough to babysit?
The truth is that when you are a mother with an baby you should not be concentrating the burglary or rape case but on your child.
A portion of our citizenry are the ones who are tasked with raising our young citizens and they need to be free to do their jobs.
There are enough other people to serve jury duty that this judge does not need to be such a pr!ck.
I would like to give these judges a lesson in civics obligations since I’m sure a large number have never performed any.
Lesson number one is to vote,Number two:Serve your country in the military and number three go to work every day and care for your family.
Serving on a jury is NOT a civic duty.Especially when our government is giving away our citizenship right left and right.
I hate these self rightious judges.
She should have been exempted or excused
