"Please help us, judge."

MIB.jpgIt didn't take. The mind-wipe, I mean. It didn't work.

Friday afternoon, deliberations over the fate of the Liberty City Six hit a new snag, according to reports by the Associated Press and the Miami Herald. Here's the abridged version of the AP report:
A few hours after an ill juror was replaced, a note signed by the jury foreman in the "Liberty City Six" case said a female juror "refuses to engage in discussions based on the evidence or the law" and that this could be "unfair to the defendants," according to U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard. The note said the juror was disruptive and had made comments offensive to others.

"Please help us, judge," the note said, adding the juror "feels deliberating is a waste of time."

In court Friday, the juror accused of not wanting to deliberate also sent her own note, complaining that she feels under "attack" from the others and hinted she may have made comments about the law that were "misinterpreted."

After summarizing the notes in court, Lenard summoned the jurors back into court and sternly ordered them to follow the law and obey her instructions regarding their duty to deliberate. Lenard told the panel to return Monday.

"This may clear up the problem," Lenard said outside the jury's presence. "Maybe not."

Nice...good to see that even when the government accuses people of being Al Qaeda, and it is known by all to be total bullshit, there will still be one or two holdouts that can't get pass their blind hate.

So, Professor Bascuas is a movie buff? If so, I enjoyed the movie bits. Or was that DOM, because I was under the impression that he was taking off for a week or two.

Quick suggeston, for the Liberty City 6 posts - perhaps using pictures of Rod Vereen (only) will do. He's so unbelievably sexy. Thanks!

I agree with 2:54 PM. DOM only caters to the guys, especially during the Helio Castroneves trial. There's nothing wrong with objectifying men a little. In fact, I think they like it.
