| Quote: | Juror no. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because —
The Court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?
Juror no. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.
The Court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.
Juror no. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan. |
This may be my favorite reason ever to be dismissed from a jury.

| Quote: | juror no. 144: I heard through the news of how the defendant changed the price of a pill by up-selling it. I heard he bought an album from the Wu-Tang Clan for a million dollars.
the court: The question is, have you heard anything that would affect your ability to decide this case with an open mind. Can you do that?
juror no. 144: I don’t think I can because he kind of looks like a d**k. |
I'm going to use that one next time I am called for jury duty.

 His lawyers better start exploring plea bargains.

| I remember when I was called for Jury Duty...Was worried about serving and was thinking about all kinds of excuses I could use where they would dismiss me...Ended up getting up really early and going there, only to find that no one was even there. The lady said that they decided not to have jury selection on that day, but still ended up marking me as having completed my jury duty obligation. |
