The problem with juries...

[lederhosen]

...is that sometimes they're MORONS.

OC Register story (fairly work-safe) and OC Weekly (NSFW): Orange County policeman stalks a female stripper, pulls her over on a secluded strip of highway out of his jurisdiction, blackmails her into sexual acts, and gets acquitted after his defence counsel plays the "she was a slut who seduced him" card.

Never mind the fact that the guy had previously been warned by a sergeant to stay away from the strippers, had used his DMV access to run the plates of nine other female employees of the same strip club shortly before the incident, and that the GPS tracking the location of his patrol car had been mysteriously disconnected just before he set out to tail her outside his jurisdiction and pull her over.

Stuff like this is why smart people (i.e. us) shouldn't try to get out of jury duty. So, good for you for doing your civic duty.

Well, that and, y'know, figuring that everyone else's time is important, too, so it's not like I'm unique in being imposed upon.

I expect a great deal of Entitlement Baby syndrome tomorrow, though.
