Dan McCoy, Herald Square Traffic Jam, shot for the EPA, 1970. National Archives and Records Administration photo, public domain.

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.

I wish we allowed cameras in the courtroom for situations like this.

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.

The episode title better be a Wu-Tang Clan reference.

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.
