I’ve been through jury selection twice, got picked once. It was a limo driver who got picked up for soliciting a prostitute (an undercover policewoman). It was fun. The guy clearly was trying to hire her, but we deadlocked on whether a “deal” had actually been made, so a mistrial was declared.
The other time I was went through the selection process it was for an asbestos-litigation trial, and those can last for AGES, so I did what I could to get myself kicked off (I work for lawyers, so naturally they encourage us to serve on juries and I would have gotten paid for as long as the trial lasted, but I simply didn’t want THAT case). So I told the lawyers that, from my observation, if a case like that actually goes to trial rather than settling out, it’s usually because ONE of the parties is being unreasonable, and I would be trying to figure out which side that was…
Eno’s a full time jurist. You’d think the courts would blacklist this numbskull. Man, I love this strip. Too close to home sometimes, I guess that makes it more enjoyable.

Eno is the type of guy who’s too dumb to get out of jury duty………apparently Fang wasn’t, though

Looks like court being held by Judge Roy Bean in the Jersey Lilly Saloon.
