“He did it. He threw the sandwich.”

That’s how the defense counsel for Sean Dunn, the man who threw a sub-style sandwich at a Border Patrol officer in Washington, DC, this summer began the federal trial against him Tuesday morning.

I hope the jury are all served sub sandwiches for lunch each day of this trail.

They don't serve food to juries. If you're lucky, they give you enough to offset the parking costs.

Yeah, off topic, but it really seems like the court system has adapted over time to disincentivize the lower class from serving on juries.

But you can’t opt out, you legally must serve.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

True, but there are ways to get out pretty easily.

My personal favorite is "the defendant didn't show up". It's worked for me twice now.

Just say you hate cops, which is probably true anyway.

In some areas you can just say you don't want to do it and that you don't think you could be fair and they'll just pass on you.

I was called up for jury service a few years ago. I was actually really excited to get someone off, but I wasn't even put into a pool.

The jurors in the FTX case got pizza ordered for them when they were doing final debate.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well that's not the norm

I think they said they'd probably be able to wrap it up that night if they got dinner and the judge was like "hell yeah order up".
