Bringing closure to the jury duty.
I was shit canned early in the process. Double murder and arson. I knew the case in generality from the news when the crime occurred. Fairly standard outline, drug deal gone bad, killed the buyers and set the car on fire in an attempt to cover his ass. The authorities had him pretty much dead to rights, DNA, cell phone, small brain, big mouth.
So there he is in the court room, all cleaned up and looking 'presentable.' His suit just couldn't hide the tattoos that were apparent from his collar, over the top of his shaved head, and over his face. Obviously Hispanic and just as obviously a gang banger.
So early on in voix dire the question was asked as to whether anyone knew the defense team or the defendant? So, I raised my hand and when I got the microphone I said, "I don't know the defendant but I can read his tattoos, would the court like to hear what they symbolize?" Needless to say the defense couldn't excuse me for cause fast enough. There is no way any responsible defense team was going to let me on that jury. Fine by me.
He's going to be found guilty and the only variable is going to be the sentence. I wasn't interested in wasting a week of my time, the time allotted for the trial, for this case even though I could have bluffed my way on. BUT I think I managed to poison the jury pool with the statement that got me evicted.
All I'm interested in now is the verdict.
