@emptywheel It always stings a bit to be rejected, even for jury duty.

@bansheebabe I fully expected it. Sounds like it's a somewhat circumstantial case. -
@emptywheel Goes to show ya just never knowz! -
@bansheebabe It took them until two bumped jurors before me for them to figure out one juror's father-in-law would be witness at trial. -
@emptywheel We convicted on most serious chgs, acquitted on most frivolous. Justice ain't purty. -
@bansheebabe My biggest concern, still, is before they (predictably & understandably) bounced me, prosecutor got rid of all people of color -
@emptywheel You know, I'm in Twin Cities, that kinda shit doesn't fly much here Accused was black, our forewoman & 2 other jurors were too -
@bansheebabe There were only ~5 PoC in pool of 38. 4 made it into box, all but 1 (Asian/Latino, maybe) DQed either peremptory or cause.

@armandodkos I'm just surprised she waited that long. She booted the people of color first. Also, had break to look me up. - 1 more reply
