I got a laugh out of some of the potential jurors excuses. The woman who has been married for 27 years and has never spent any time away from her husband....she says she wouldn't be able to handle 2 months away from him! The judge resonded with "you can call him every night and he can visit you on weekends" she said it wouldn't be the same. He is making her come back for round 2. The man with a history of Narcolepsy. I believe he is coming back for round 2 also. I wouldn't want him on the jury. He says it only happens if he is sitting for a long time, but it hasn't happened lately so he is not concerned. The defense was concerned that he might fall asleep and fall and crack his head. It happens all the time with Narcoleptics. I like this Judge but I hope he isn't being too optimistic regarding time frame. He promised one lady that she would absolutely make her London trip on July 19th. He promised another man that he would not miss his steroid injections in July. He didn't even ask when in July. It could be July 1, but Judge states he won't miss??? I hope he is right.
