Juror No. 799, an Asian woman in her 20s who said she works in the garment industry, was up for jury duty in the death penalty trial of Bonanno crime boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano.

I hope she has a good attorney and can appeal that nonsense. It's not a crime to have opinions.

We find the defendant guilty and recommend a year of jury duty.

Who would want that woman on the jury at their trial? That judge is stupid.

[Roaddog]

if she is just trying to get out of that trial who can blame her? why would they want her if she is that set on getting out of it?
Now if she answered the questions honestly wouldn't that have been the right thing for her to do? It's her right to be a racist and it's not against the law to be one.
The Judge is overstepping his authority.
As always it's just my opinion.

Asked to name three people she least admired, the woman wrote on her questionnaire: "African-Americans, Hispanics and Haitians."

Priceless. She named three groups not people. I love it.

Sometimes, it's best to ignore ignorance.

That was my question, too. Don't you have to actually be convicted of something in order to be given some kind of sentence?

[misplaced1]

This is bs, IF she ever was chosen for jury duty, who would want her on their trial? Really, I don't think that is an appropriate punishment or that the judge even should be able to impose that on a person.

Sounds like he is trampling her free speech. Disturbing that disliking other races and thinking cops are lazy is the cause for her punishment.

I dont see where her remarks are racist unless some remarks on the questionaire where not covered in the article.

Well we can see why this Judge made this stupid decision.


"Recently Judge Garaufis presided over the NYC Firefighters Hiring Case. He ruled "that out of every five entry-level hires, the Fire Department must agree to reserve two hires for black priority applicants and one for a Hispanic priority applicant until 293 qualifying minority candidates have been offered a position." This ruling is intended to "compensate minority applicants who took discriminatory entrance exams, which were used from 1999 to 2002."
