<<<A jury should laugh in her face. You know I'd be MAD if I were losing a day of my life to serve and have to listen to crap like that.>>> No effing shit, honey. I'd kick the bitch, too. You know, hostility. I'd follow her around the neighborhood in a goddam roach suit. I'd hide in her purse. I'd feel her with my feelers. I'd crawl on top of her head and wiggle at everyone she meets. "Twenty five thousand? That's uh two thousand for each juror. We'll take it, from Ms Sissy-Ass-Snooker-Insect-Of-Opportunity here." I hate the woman. The menace. I would punch her in the nose, if roaches wouldn't fall out. I wonder if we can sue her. Five K in cash, from something that happens to 94% of restaurants, would be a Whopper profit. "As part of the settlement, Ms Roacheria agrees to never leave the house; nor to ever take pest control advertising monies, which we figger are next."

I agree that a jury might get mad if they had to sit through a day long trial on the matter. I've thought about making it a bench trial. Anyway, it won't take an entire day, for sure.

<<A jury should laugh in her face. You know I'd be MAD if I were losing a day of my life to serve and have to listen to crap like that.>> I was on a jury once. A drug dealer was stiffed on being paid. He and two friends broke into the guys apartment and while the two co-horts held the guy down the dealer beat him with a chain. Charge was unlawful restraint. We retired to the "sacred" jury room where we were supposed to be in charge. The bailiff said we had to leave the door open, no water, no toilet and no smokes until we had a verdict as the judge had a party at the country club and didn't want to be late. I shut and locked the door, had a drink, peed and lit up a smoke. This I wanted to be arrested for. First vote was 10-2 guilty. The two said they wanted to at least talk about it. We decided that it was like when Billy Parret killed Emile Griffith in the ring. The beating kept Griffith in the ring plus it was the dealer's friends that held the guy down. Final results - my rebellion was never mentioned. The judge tossed the verdict. That was a wasted day. Oh and lunch... we got to go to a nice place but the $ limit was so low the selection was garbage. I wanted to pay my own way so as to get a burger but that wasn't allowed. Me serve on another jury?
