A Texas woman will spend ten days in a jury room or ten days behind bars for leaving jury duty without proper permission. Texas Southern University professor Sara White complained about not feeling well recently during jury duty but Judge David Hittner refused to let her leave. Court officials say White left anyway and now Judge Hittner is making White sit in the federal jury room without reading materials for ten working days. She is also not allowed to contact anyone while in the jury room. If White does not comply she'll spend ten days in jail.
You know, I have kids that I work with who try this stuff. I don't let it happen for kids, and I'm glad this judge didn't let the lady get away with this either. Some people just have no respect for anyone or anything.
