My Hero
49-year-old Cornelia Turner was fulfilling her civic duty by taking part in jury duty in Houston, TX. Cornelia was one of the 20 prospective jurors in a marijuana possession trial. During jury selection, a 45-minute break was called. When the 45 minute break was up, Cornelia was the only one to not return to the courtroom.
The judge in the case was about to issue a bench warrant when he received a call that Cornelia was arrested right outside the criminal courthouse. Cornelia was arrested for smoking a joint. All that talk about weed probably gave her a major craving.
The judge told The Houston Chronicle, "I've had prospective jurors get lost before, but it never occurred to me that they might be getting ready for a marijuana trial by, allegedly, smoking marijuana."
So did she make the jury? You know the defense fought for her hot ass! This woman is seriously my new hero.
Thanks Jennifer
I bet she thought it was a good idea, make the whole sitting and listening to people thing way more interesting. Your mind goes on many interesting tangents when you're stoned...makes time pass quicker...but she got caught...should have lit up in the bathroom or something and covered it up with a match...right MK?
Your face!
LOL!
Hahaha! Not too smart, but I can't really judge. Last time I had jury duty, I got shit-faced drunk with some girlfriends during the lunch break because I thought I had no chance of being selected (I was like number 300 in the juror pool, and usually nobody that far back ever makes the jury). Anywho, I staggered back into the courtroom only to find out that the fuckers had done a "juror lottery." Basically they shuffled our asses and I ended up on the front row! Juror number 5, bitches! Drunk as fuck!! Luckily, I just had to answer a few questions since the actual trial started the next day.
awesome

Ah, what a stupid thing to do. Seems like she took advantage to shake her "civil duties" off. It's scary to think these people might be elected for your case... if you were shot, some relative was murdered, you were raped, etc. Scary thought.

I'm sorry. This bitch is my hero. Go girl! Yeah, smoking right outside of a courthouse is dumb, but I understand the joint-in-public thing. Can't say I've never done it myself. I still heart her. Hopefully she won't receive some over-the-top bullshit punishment to "create an example out of her" or whatever. Then again, she appears to be a minority and lives in Texas, so...she's probably facing execution.

Remember the good old days when HS and colleges had smoking areas?
Yea, those were the days.

So she should have smoked it INSIDE of the courtroom?
In two circumstances only: (1) if the judge condoned it; or (2) if the trial got really long and boring.

There's that great line by Mark Twain: something like, "A jury trial is where 12 strangers decide which side has the better lawyer."

Sheeps,

YepYepYep-
It is a science, so true. One of the best jury selection experts in the US even wrote a book about reading people. Lists of physical characteristics, grooming, etc. to expose how they might think.
I have the book- "Reading People" by Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, Ph.D., and Mark Mazzarella. Kind of screws the idea of a fair unbiased trial.

I rather have a pot head as a juror than an upstate little housewife with a perfect life, trust me, jury are a scam to begin with, they take one look at you and your lawyer, and if they like you they will help you, if they think you look like a criminal forget about, they will reason a way to get you arrested even if you are innocent. I have helped pick juries, and have a rough idea on how jurors work

Judges always give a standard jury instruction that jurors shouldn't conduct any private research outside the courtroom.

She should have just packed a pot brownie with her lunch to avoid all of this trouble.
That mug shot would look great if above her it read, “Visine. Gets the red out.”

I kinda feel bad for her--she's obviously a pothead who got stuck doing jury duty and was involuntarily placed on the jury for that particular case. All that talk of weed would get me jonesing, too. The only difference is, I'm not stupid enough to pull a stunt like that.
So actually, I guess I retract what I said about feeling sorry for her. I have no sympathy for morons who get themselves into their own messes.
