Jury Duty (one angry man)

What should I yell at the Judge?
	�I�m a lawyer. What we think isn�t supposed to matter.�
	"Permission to approach."
	"You can't handle the truth"
	�In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.�
	"No further questions your honor"
	"May I beg the court�s indulgence for a moment?"
	"The evidence is overwhelming."
	"If the glove fits, you must acquit"
	" I'm holding you in contempt of court."
	"Goku"

i was a juror on a three week murder trial in manhattan

this was during the height of Law and Order's popularity, and most of the lawyers' questions during voir dire consisted of asking people whether or not they watched that show (or CSI) and getting rid of anyone who admitted they did

for some reason i wasn't asked this. in fact i dont remember them asking me anything, which is kind of weird, but i ended up on the jury anyway

and i have to say.. the courtroom experience in downtown manhattan, vibe-wise? extremely similar to an episode of Law and Order. i could practically hear the Dun Dun
