Georgia Trial Jury Selection Hits Four Month Mark As AWOL Juror Hears Consequence

 As an update to May 15 post, the RICO trial of gang members continues to have issues with potential jurors behaving badly.  Jury selection has gone on for 4 months, possibly a record for Georgia.  Most recently a juror who failed to show for jury duty and went to work instead was ordered to observe the trial for 5 days WHENEVER it starts, which could be a while.  This was in lieu of 20 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.  Jury selection is expected to continue through the summer.  YouTube has videos of the interaction between the judge and the juror.
