Atlasia v. East Coast Republican

[Sam Spade]

Yep, jury selection will be tomorrow.  I need to review the law in question again.

[Sam Spade]

ok, the basis of our jury selection is still found in the Jury Reform Act here:

I will post a list of Mideast citizens (ECR is from Ohio according to my records) and consult the I Ching as to our jury members.

Wait a minute, he vote in the Southeast Senate Election if I recall.

Yep.  Made a mistake.  He is a member of the Southeast and I've requested the correct list as such.

[Purple State]

Aww, I was hoping to serve on a jury. Drats.

I have starred those voters who voted in one of the last two Atlasian general elections, as the potential jurors I will choose from will be limited to these so that we have jurors who will be active.  I have also crossed out East Coast Republican for obvious reasons.

This leaves me with 16 potential jurors.  I shall announce the six selections in a few minutes and send out PMs.

[Alexander Hamilton]

The law says performing the duties of a cabinet official or deputy cabinet official, something East Coast Republican has not done.

[Alexander Hamilton]

Is this whole thing a joke?

OBVIOUSLY

[Sam Spade]

Quiet in the court!

[Sam Spade]

I have consulted the I Ching and have chosen the following citizens as jury members:

Andy Jackson
Chuck Hagel 08 (South Park Conservative)
Cosmo Kramer (jokerman or as I remember - Preston Caldwell)
Daniel Adams
DelDem
John Dibble

I will send out PMs in a little while.

[Bacon King]

Quiet in the court!

My apologies. After noting that Hamilton was serving as counsel in this case, I noticed he had several posts in this thread waiting in the Mod Review queue so I went ahead and approved them. Didn't realize they'd all be in a row like that.

[Sam Spade]

I'm noticing that the Jury Reform Act limits juries to five jurors.  I will remove one of my selections in a second and make him an alternate.

As modified:

These are the five selected jurors:

Andy Jackson
Chuck Hagel 08 (South Park Conservative)
Daniel Adams
DelDem
John Dibble

This will be our first alternate juror:

Cosmo Kramer (jokerman or as I remember - Preston Caldwell)

[Sam Spade]

PMs sent.

[Daniel Adams]

I affirm that I will well and truly try the matter in issue between the parties, and give a true verdict according to the law and evidence, so help me Dave.

[John Dibble]

You probably shouldn't select someone who has announced he'd be on vacation that he needs to serve on a jury. (I didn't even know Atlasia had jury duty) I just got back home a couple hours ago. Anywho, I would like not to serve for three reasons:

1. I'm just back from vacation. I have to unpack and do all the general post vacation crap. I also have to deal with Delta airlines because they royally screwed me over on a fee such that it actually cost more to check in my baggage than it did to fly myself home. That's real life, and that will always take precedence.
2. I'm a judge. Generally speaking juries should be composed of everyday citizens, so having someone like a judge or a lawyer on a jury is generally not done. There's no law against it, but it's a potential ethical gray area in terms of balancing the courtroom between the judge, the defense, the prosecution, and the jury.
3. I'm currently being asked to perform my duties as a judge in another case:

[Sam Spade]

ok, then I'll contact the alternate.  Thanks, Dibble.

[jokerman]

I swear that I will well and truly try the matter in issue between the parties, and give a true verdict according to the law and evidence, so help me God.

[Sam Spade]

As to the two folks who haven't responded, I'm sending reminder PMs out right now.  If no response is given in 24 hours, consequences will result - probably the same that I've used before.

[Deldem]

Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to be a juror. My life outside this forum is far too busy for many reasons, and I won't have time for this.
Currently on my plate:
1. School workload is very heavy for the next few weeks
2. College Apps
3. Extracurricular stuff I've already committed to.
I apologize for the inconvenience I know this causes, but I honestly don't see how I could do a good job if I can't be on for more than 5 minutes at a time after today.

Ok, that's fine and you're excused.

I'll be selecting another juror in the next few minutes and sending out the PM.

[Sam Spade]

To replace Deldem as juror, I have consulted the I Ching and have chosen Brandon H as juror.

He will be e-mailed a PM in the next couple of minutes.
