Jury Duty vs. Heading to the Track
Honestly, who wouldn't have done this?
 WASHINGTON – A juror who vanished during Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens' corruption trial told the judge Monday she lied about her father dying and flew to California to see horse races. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Marian Hinnant, identified as juror No. 4, to return to court to explain why she disappeared during jury deliberations. Hinnant, 52, brought a stack of handwritten notes with her to the court Monday along with public defender A.J. Kramer, and told the judge that her father hadn't died and she was at the Breeders' Cup in Arcadia, Calif. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081103/.../stevens_trial

I am guessing her handwritten notes were on the 6th at Laurel on Wednesday.

I served Jury duty in March of 1994 ( among other times ) and one of the possible panels was going to take a while. The judge asked anyone that had a problem with this to discuss it with him. I told him that I had rented a place in Lexington for the Keeneland meet in a week or so and that I couldn't hang around NY.
He asked me what I thought about Holy Bull's chances in the KY Derby before dismissing me.

if i was her father, i might have an issue with her saying i was on my deathbed!! seems in poor taste.
perhaps she should have been up front about it from the get go, and explained that she couldn't pay enough attention, couldn't be available for the duration. she'd most likely have been excused. at least that way she wouldn't be facing charges for lying to a judge-they tend to frown on that sort of thing.

This whack job should spend at least a night in jail, in order to give her the time to reflect quietly upon her moral and legal responsibilities being a juror, and what happens when one lies to a judge.
