Read these excerpts from Martin Shkreli’s jury selection transcripts. He’s the guy who jacked the price of the AIDS drug 5000% - anyways he’s on trial for securities fraud, and probably shouldn’t have picked a jury trial.

An example from Juror #1: “I’m aware of the defendant, and I hate him.”

in all fairness Shkreli was behaving like a dick, imo

It could be New Yorkers being frank, although I saw many people play up their lack of impartiality to avoid jury duty when I was going through selection last year, and I hear echos of that here.
Very amusing, in some cases, though.

That was fun. I wonder how they managed to find a jury at all.

Yep, I think I’d be creative to get out of this one. He’s guilty, and you’d have to sit on a jury for a month or two to get to the point where you’d deliberate for 30 seconds and send him to jail. That’s a job for someone who’s retired.

My favorites:
juror no. 1: I think he’s a greedy little man.
juror no. 144: I don’t think I can because he kind of looks like a dick.
juror no. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.

I hope enough people can pretend to put their feelings aside and provide, or rather, inflict some measure of justice to the Pharmabro.

“juror no. 10: The only thing I’d be impartial about is what prison this guy goes to.”
I had a friend from high school, who turned into a hardcore capitalist libertarian and about 3 weeks ago he shared/liked this story how this prick was such a nice guy and buying everyone drinks at the bar. I almost wonder if it was a ploy for good PR.
