a note about juries....
in regards to jury duty- all i can do is PLEAD with you to please please pay attention to what is going on in the courtroom... i know its hard and annoying and ihaven't gone through jury duty yet- but my mom just settled in her lawsuit against this truck company that didn't tie down the metal rods in the back of an open truck- and one hit her car- and she spent the last 3 years getting rehabilitated because she was permanently injured from the whiplash... her chiropracter/acupuncture wasn't effective enough- and she sunk into a deep depression- barelly able to get out of bed- eventually she had to have a major major surgery where they took bone from her hip and fused it to the C4 and C5 of her spinal column... its taken her a year to recouperate and her medical bills were over 70,000 dollars....
literally- her lawyer blew the defense away- and the owner of the company got on the witness stand and said they were at fault... my mom ended up settling- but right before the jury settled- and the gave my mom ZERO- NADA- ZILCH- and when questioned by my moms lawyer later- they couldn't even tell the defense witnesses from the prosecutions.... its an outrage- they weren't even paying attention and they only deliberated for 30 minutes....
long story short... please please pay attention and deliberate to the best of your ability...
my mom has been ruined by her accident... so just think about if that was one of your family members up there- etc etc....
thank you....
