All the TVs at my gym are broadcasting jury selection footage like it's fuckin draft season

Juror #5 is an married man who runs an IT business for companies that make shoes

It's so boring

Oh yeah he’s falling asleep during jury selection, no shit, any normal person would do the same

Why do defendants even need to be there for jury selection? Isn’t it just lawyers fighting each other over who gets to see the case?

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Mostly just to make sure the lawyers don’t completely fuck up and so the defendant can go “Wait I know that guy don’t let him on the jury”

Not really needed here

You have TVs at your gym? Mine only has a random selection of music in the background.

I don't know if having TVs playing Trump's trial at the gym is better than a non-zero chance of hearing Saliva's Click Click Boom, which no kidding happened a few months ago

Yeah

Mine also plays music too

It's hell for my sensory issues, so I usually just listen to my own music with the noise canceling on my buds tuned very high

You have a gym? We had to go work out in rolled up newspaper in middle of road! And when we got back, dad would cut us in half with a bread knife and dance about on our graves!
