All the TVs at my gym are broadcasting jury selection footage like it's fuckin draft season

Juror #5 is an married man who runs an IT business for companies that make shoes

It's so boring

Oh yeah he’s falling asleep during jury selection, no shit, any normal person would do the same

Mine also plays music too

It's hell for my sensory issues, so I usually just listen to my own music with the noise canceling on my buds tuned very high

You have a gym? We had to go work out in rolled up newspaper in middle of road! And when we got back, dad would cut us in half with a bread knife and dance about on our graves!

Also they're actively doxxing jurors while writing breathless op Ed's about how completely unacceptable it is that Trump is trying to dox jurors.

I would ask for a dismissal and point to the journalists sitting in the back tweeting away as the reason
