BOYS I HAD JURY DUTY TODAY AT SUFFOLK SUPERIOR COURT HOUSE HERE IN BOSTON.I FIGURED HELL MAYBE THE CASE WILL BE A FENDER BENDER NO BIG DEAL.
BOY WAS I WRONG WE WALKED INTO THE COURTROOM AND THEY WANTED TO GET A JURY OF 16 PEOPLE OUT OF 150 THEY HAD TODAY AND TOMORROW.BOYS THIS WAS NO FENDER BENDER THE CASE WAS A 2ND DEGREE MURDER CASE INVOLVING 4 HISPANICS.BOYS THIS CASE WAS GOING TO LAST 3 TO 4 WEEKS AND I KNEW I HAD TO THINK FAST SO I WOULDNT GET PICKED FOR JURY DUTY.
BOYS THE JUDGE THOUGHT HE COULD FOOL OLD BEANTOWNJIM BUT NO NO WAY JOSE I USED THIS IN REFERENCE TO THE DEFENDENTS.I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS JURY STUFF BEFORE AND I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THESE JUDGES.
THE JUDGE SAYS TO ME # 18 WHAT IS THE REASON WHY YOU DONT THINK YOU CAN BE A JURY MEMBER IN THIS CASE #18.I SAID YOUR HONOR ONE OF THESE DEFENDENTS LOOKS VERY FAMILIAR I THINK I HAVE SEEN HIM WORKING OUT AT THE CHINATOWN YMCA.I KNOW I DIDNT BUT I SAID THAT SO I WOULDNT GET PICKED.THEN THE JUDGE ASKS ME TO WAIT IN THE HALLWAY I COULD HEAR HIM ASK THE DEFENDENT AND HIS LAWYERS HAVE YOU EVER WORKED OUT AT THE CHINATOWN YMCA AND THE DEFENDENT SAID NO.THEN THE JUDGE SAYS BRING BACK JUROR #18 BEANTOWNJIM.
THE JUDGE SAYS THE DEFENDENT NEVER WORKED OUT AT THE CHINATOWN YMCA IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL YOU SHOULDNT BE A JUROR IN THIS TRIAL.YES THERE IS YOUR HONOR I JUST DONT LIKE THE WAY THAT DEFENDENT LOOKS.IS IT BECAUSE OF RACE
YES YOUR HONOR I DONT WANT TO SAY THIS IN FRONT OF THE 20 PEOPLE IN THIS COURT ROOM BUT I THINK IT IS RACE I DONT LIKE DREADLOCKS AND PUNKS WITH TATOOS ON THERE NECKS
