Huh. Prosecutor used what was probably her last preemptory challenge to boot me from the jury. Go figure. Who wouldn't want ME on a jury?
@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.
