Do not tell the truth on the questionaire.......because if your answers are not politically correct........you will pay the price?
Is that what we want?
If I was convicted in this judge's court.....could I file an appeal claiming jury tampering? After all, the prospective jurers were afraid to answer the questionaire honestly.......so I may not have been judged by a jury of my peers, but by a jury biased against me, for one reason or another.
Think about it. This judge has tainted the jury pool in his court......permanently.
An incensed federal judge sentenced a racist Brooklyn woman to indefinite jury duty on Tuesday after she trashed the NYPD and minorities. "This is an outrage, and so are you!" Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis told the woman, holding up her bile-filled juror questionnaire.
Juror No. 799, an Asian woman in her 20s who said she works in the garment industry, was up for jury duty in the death penalty trial of Bonanno crime boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano.
Had she been honest from the start i bet she would of never even served jury duty. At least ny state pays $40.00 a day + milage + lunch unlike ca which is cheap.
To send the messages that prospective jurors can't just make up whatever crap they want to without consequence. If every prospective juror did this, it would cause a huge negative impact on our courts.
Does anybody hear actually think that this woman was as prejudiced against all minorities and the NYPD as she claimed? We can't put ourselves in the courtroom, but I feel pretty confident in saying that the judge concluded that the woman was not being honest in her views; the judge is within his rights to proscribe an appropriate sanction, including more jury duty.
If the idea is to make people more enthusiastic about serving on a jury - it would appear that the last thing one would want to do is cause jury duty to be perceived as a form of punsihment.

One simple question would suffice...
