How About A Drunk Jury Of Your Peers?
In Tennessee, it is apparently becoming harder and harder to seat a jury. Under state law, jurors must be sober, and that seems to be one of the problems.
Anyone who is a habitual drunkard or who has been recently intoxicated is exempted from jury duty, and courts are finding that this is excluding many people and causing the jury pools to become tiny.
So now lawmakers in Tennesse are considering the possibility of maybe letting drunks serve on juries after all. This should turn out well, don’t you think?
