WRAL:

Breaking News: A Superior Court judge has dismissed a juror in the retrial of Jason Young for posting on an Internet message board about the case. Young is accused of killing his pregnant wife, Michelle Young, in November 2006.

LOL at all of you
loose lips sink ships
why not take your civil duty more seriously?

1/26/2012 11:57:30 AM

oh snap... look what you all have done

1/26/2012 11:57:59 AM

Poor Sayer I wonder if he's forbidden from posting about his dismissal.

1/26/2012 11:59:06 AM

So what he received instructions and disregarded them? i wonder what the basis was...

surely it wasn't "we're gonna be horrible jurors"

1/26/2012 12:02:50 PM

I think a guy I work with my be on the jury for this trial.

Interesting enough, I got called for jury duty on Feb. 9th. I'd actually like to participate, but because I'm young, white, and make above the median income I'll probably be dismissed.

1/26/2012 12:51:10 PM

This is some classic T-dub...I gotta post in this thread.

article brought the LOLs

1/26/2012 12:52:07 PM

Quote :

"To be clear, this dismissed juror didn't do anything wrong that I can see -- he simply posted that he was in the jury pool. He's not a "blogger" or a "celebrity". He made an obvious joke that him and another forum member would be the "worst jurors" ever. He didn't post anything after he was actually selected, and never posted anything of substance. However, Judge Stephens pretty much had to dismiss him because he doesn't want to create an appealable issue, and if he denied the defense's request to dismiss for cause, it could. How this guy would actually affect the fairness of the trial is complete speculation. Also, if you read the thread on TWW, the posters are quite intelligent and humorous. Perhaps the defense is afraid of intelligent jurors."

Alright, who was that?

That's what I'm learning. Get the notice in the mail, send the exemption card back with nothing more than "tww" scrawled on it.

1/26/2012 12:53:40 PM

nobody is mentioning contempt or anything like that

I think that means 2 out of 3 of our people are in the clear

1/26/2012 12:54:56 PM

I actually think this is just the first of many fun things to come in our really crappy legal system.

The defendant pools in district court in NC are insane. I have seen literally two hundred people in line to deal with misdemeanors and traffic crap. I also sat in a bunch last May on the cooper thing and the number of folks that were there for felonies on Mondays would easily be in the 50s or 60s, all packed into one courtroom while lawyers answered they were here or not and hemmed and hawed.

It's kinda ridiculous. Very circus-like.

So, if they don't let t-dubbers on juries, those are our peers and they should automatically use that in trials to let us go.

What the hell do they do with people on those "other places" posting? Can you even chase those crazy commenters down? I mean, I would never want someone who has commented on the local media sites on my jury for anything in the world. Those people are way more nuts than anyone here.

Epic thread. +1 Will read again.

Probably too serious for this thread, but i think this article has some real application to what has happened here:
