A juror in the month-long civil trial against the world's 12th richest man was dismissed late Thursday after calling an attorney in the case an "asshole." . . .Like everyone in the courtroom didn't already know Hardin was an [alleged] asshole. He sure seemed like an asshole when he represented Roger Clemens testifying before Congress.
The juror that was dismissed apparently blurted out the word while Sands attorney Rusty Hardin was questioning a witness, forcing Clark County District Judge Michelle Leavitt to stop the trial to determine what happened and who overheard the juror's remark.
I think the court acted too quickly. I mean . . . at least the juror was awake and paying attention.
I find your use of brackets distracting.
ReplyDeleteagreed on this post. I went a little bracket-heavy. I'll knock it off.
ReplyDeleteMuch obliged.
ReplyDelete"Rusty Hardin" is an unfortunate name to have if you are going to be an asshole. I bet he cried a lot in high school.
