Jeremy has to be Jeremy.

But surprise, surprise…Jeremy can wear any number of “good men” down!

Is he just holding them hostage because he’s lonely? Or did he take a bribe / payoff from the cigarette guys?

Divide and conquer works both ways. Maybe he will change all their minds. I mean really, I’m sure someone wants to get home.

The jury foreman is really a smart guy for someone with a pot belly who wears checked pants and a pea green shirt.

He is waiting for lunch to be brought in.

I’ve only sat on a jury once, so far, and I, was the odd man out. We were deciding a civil case envolving parked cars on a road with double yellow lines. Everyone else was all for acquittal as most of them didn’t like being sued either. By the time I had aired my views, two others had joined me. I and the other two had a legal question before making a similar decision. The question was sent to the judge who clarified the situation allowing us all to agree on acquittal.

And thugs like Flynn,and Stone walk,because the bully will shame all who oppose him.How sad that our country has sunk so far ;(

In his gelatinous way, he’s quite bearish. Jeremy Bearimy.

I was on a jury in a criminal trial once (armed robbery) and that is exactly what we did with the person who had the Peter Fonda fantasy (shouldn’t the title have been “Eleven Angry Men”?)

Note that Jeremy doesn’t believe they didn’t do it; he just likes “the cut of their jib.” In real life, that’s how juries often work. Their decisions are based as much on their liking or disliking the parties as on the facts.

Tell him how cigarette smoke can ruin his stamp collection.

Reminds me of that old Henry Fonda movie “12 Angry Men.”

If Thanksgiving is coming up, the Other 11 will change their votes to agree with Jeremy, just to get Out of there.

Juries can get Very Lazy when there is a Holiday coming up.
