michael jackson's jury of his peers.
ernest in ernest goes to jail, where he attends jury duty, and ernest teaches us a valuable lesson....don`t chew on pens.
a man was chosen for jury duty who really wanted to be dismissed from serving. he tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. on the day of the trial, he decided to give it one more shot. as the trial was about to begin, he asked if he could approach the bench. "your honor," he said, "i must be excused from this trial because i am prejudiced against the defendant. i took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and i said 'he's a crook! he's guilty!' so, your honor, i cannot possibly stay on this jury!" with a tired annoyance the judge replied, "get back in the jury box, you fool. that man is the defendant's lawyer."
frank was on trial for first-degree murder, facing lethal injection if convicted, and the trial didn't seem to be going well for him. his brother had been eyeing a good-looking blonde on the jury throughout the whole trial, and before the jury began deliberating he approached the blonde and told her he'd give her $10,000 if she could convince the rest of the jury to reduce the charge to manslaughter. the jury was out an entire week and returned with a verdict of manslaughter. after the trial, the brother went to the blonde's house, told her what a great job she had done and paid her the $10,000. the blonde replied, "i tell you, it wasn't easy getting them to change their minds like that. they all wanted to acquit him!"
a man was chosen for jury duty who very much wanted to be dismissed from serving. he tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. on the day of the trial he decided to give it one more shot. as the trial was about to begin he asked if he could approach the bench. "your honor," he said, "i must be excused from this trial because i am prejudiced against the defendant. i took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and i said, 'he's a crook! he's guilty, guilty, guilty.' so your honor, i could not possibly stay on this jury!" with a tired annoyance the judge replied, "get back in the jury box. that man is his lawyer."
a grand jury in south texas indicted vice president dick cheney and former attorney general alberto gonzales on separate charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers.
new york - a hospital did nothing wrong when it tried to examine the rectum of a construction worker who had been hit on the head by a falling wooden beam, a jury found monday. after deliberating for about an hour, a state supreme court jury awarded nothing to brian persaud, who sued newyork-presbyterian hospital for unspecified damages. the panel found the hospital and its emergency room medical staff were not liable. persaud's lawyers, gerard marrone and gary defilippo, said he might appeal. "we're very disappointed," marrone said after the two-week trial. "it's a miscarriage of justice." the hospital's lawyer, jeffrey lawton, declined comment. marrone said persaud, 38, was injured while working at a construction site in midtown manhattan on may 20, 2003. persaud received eight stitches for a cut over his eyebrow at the hospital, but denied emergency room staffers' request to examine his rectum, the lawyer said. he said doctors told persaud the exam could help determine whether the accident caused spinal damage. when persaud resisted, staffers held him down while he begged, "please don't do that," marrone said. persaud hit a doctor while flailing around, so the staffers gave him a powerful sedative and performed the rectal exam, he said. hospital witnesses testified at trial that the exam was never completed, but marrone said that when persaud woke up he was handcuffed to a bed and had an oxygen tube down his throat and lubricant in his rectum. "he resisted because he didn't know what they were doing," defilippo said. "once he said he didn't want the rectal exam, everything should have stopped." defilippo said he believes the rectal exam was done as retaliation because his panicked client hit the doctor. a judge dismissed a misdemeanor assault charge that was filed against persaud because he hit the doctor. defilippo said his client is unemployed and has been unable to hold a job since the accident. source
