Rule # 1 of Litigation:

DON'T **** OFF THE JUDGE!

Perhaps her time on a jury will be educational for her.

She'll have no choice but to always acquit.

Almost certainly.

Which is why the judge gave her indefinite jury duty LOL.

Default Judge Reportedly Sentences New York Woman to Indefinite Jury Duty After Racist Remarks

Quote:
A federal judge in New York reportedly sentenced a Brooklyn woman to indefinite jury duty after she made racist remarks toward minorities.

"This is an outrage, and so are you!" Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis told the woman as he held up her juror questionnaire, the New York Daily News reports.

The unidentified juror -- an Asian woman in her 20s who said she works in the garment industry -- was being screened for jury duty on Tuesday in the death penalty trial of Bonanno crime boss Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano.

Asked to name three people she least admired, the woman wrote on her questionnaire: "African-Americans, Hispanics and Haitians."

When Garaufis asked why she answered the question that way, the woman replied, "You always hear about them in the news doing something."

Dupe thread: Judge gives 'Juror No. 799' indefinite jury duty after she makes racist remarks on questionnaire

For what it's worth, the judge is well within his right to do that.
