The Members Trial Transcript Managing Directors! Best & Brightest Bad News For Everybody How Many Ways Can You Taint A Jury?In a courtroom with a federal judge, a dozen federal attorneys, a group of defendant, and spectators, a nervous juror entered the courtroom, separated from the other jurors, and had the courage to tell the Court that people were using improper influence in the jury room. The Court snapped at this literally shaking woman.With uncommon bravado, she insisted that people were making decisions for other people. Again, the Court's voice rose, saying, "Ah! Ah! I don't want to hear it!" and sent her back into the jury room for deliberations. One might think the attorneys would be leaping, hm? Not a peep. At one point, another juror notified the Court that her Mercedes
Benz had been hit and damaged in the courthouse parking lot, and that she was sure the hit
and run had been committed by one of the defendants, Annette Haley, with Haley's Mercedes
Benz. Never mind that Haley had numerous outside investments; none of the other defendants except the publisher of Who's Who had ever owned a Mercedes. Yet the impression on the jury was clearly significant, more so with a juror carping in every private jury session that a rich defendant's Mercedes had hit and damaged her car, AND had denied it and "Who's going to pay for it?," and.... ... and this does not bode well.

If you don't get involved, in this or any other civic outrage, who will get involved for you?
The world is not the same place it was not so many years ago.
Back then, most politicians were in public office to serve, because they cared.
For anyone to make the same claim today is both specious and groundless.
The only people who might make such a claim have spurious claims.
Either they do not better, or they are making money themselves.
Learn to get more involved; that's why we have communities.
Again, you're asked just one basic, simple question:
If you don't get involved, if you don't make a try,
who will make that effort for you and yours?
Please do not tell us what you can do.
Better to show us what you can do.
Better yet, show the first face
you see in any mirror.
