while they were picking the jury >>
Hi Tom,
I am surprised that you got picked. Military background, rich (building your
own plane) intelligent (teaching) etc., all the things which usually seem to
prevent selection.
Its going the same way here. It is said that if you report for jury service
carrying The Times or The Telegraph you will certainly be rejected as you
will be considered `too intellectual`. This is hearsay as I have never been
called for jury service and now at 76 I am considered to be brain dead.
Doesn`t stop Judges being 90.
I loved the clip of one elderly female juror at the Jackson trial which was
shown on TV here.
She said `That woman (Arviso) snapped her fingers at the jury. I thought,
snap your fingers at me would you, I am going to vote against you`
Never mind the arguments or the evidence, the fact that she `snapped her
fingers` was the all important factor .Sheesh!...and a jury is the best
system we have for determining guilt. Gives one pause!
Cheers
Pat
