Juror Dismissed!

Filed under: Legal Matters > R. Kelly

rkellymug.jpg

Opening arguments for the R. Kelly child porn case began on Tuesday.

However, a juror has already been dismissed from the proceedings!

Shortly before opening statements began, a juror was summoned by the judge after she complained that sitting on the panel would leave her unable to pay her bills.

The woman explained to the judge that she only has 30 hours of vacation time at her job and wouldn't be paid for serving on the jury after that time expires.

She says she'd be unable to pay attention to her jury duties because of concern over their financial implication.

That makes sense to us!

She's being replaced by one of four alternate jurors.

Guess this is going to be a loooooong (but surely eventful) trial!

The sex tape is due to be screened any moment now!

    Ya know…there is a reason why people are the way they are. If everyone in this world was loved and/or happily married, then there would be a lot fewer mean and evil people in this world. Mutt Lange is an exception to the rule. He's just a plain ol' PIG.
    What the world needs now is love.

    I thought that by law your employer had to pay you even if you are in jury duty? And you DO NOT have to take vacation time. At least thats how it is in Nevada. Anyway…….

    Um, I'm pretty sure that it is law that your employer has to pay you even if you are on jury duty and they cannot force you to take vacation time. I live in Chicago, and I work in HR - That judge should know that. However, maybe her employer is being shady, and that can still cause emotional distress and could be reason enough to let her off the hook. In the meantime, someone needs to look into her employer's practices..

    BULLSHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a federal law that she receives pay for those days she is on jury duty…..PERIOD. She in turn turns over the check they give (jury duty) gives her…………An employer can not make you take vacation time due to you being on jury duty…..I smell a rat ! Kelly is guilty anyway……The video will show that today…..He is the lowest of the low. ANd so are the parents of any chjild whjo thinks it is ok to screw their daughter because its their homey R. Kelly. Shame on these so called parents. I am sure they got piad off. Thats Kelly's style. He is SCUM…………He is gonna love those jail boys…….They are gonna loveeeeeeee him back …LOL

    I call bull shizzle. I am an HR Director and while laws very from state to state, jury duty laws are basically uniform. Your employer cannot count jury duty against you. They have to pay you for the time off, however, if you get paid by the court (some courts pay a per diem to each juror) they can deduct your pay by the amount you were paid by the court.

    So, it was a straight up lie unless she gets paid under the table.

    he eats poo poo and then he eats more poo poo and then he writes lousy songs and eats even more turdy poop poops. he's a hiney hole but he won't go to jail because he writes shitty poo poo music with his hiney ass. dumb monkey bitch.

    Why does this pedophile get to have so much extra time (what like years) to make more money when he is a fucking child molester? All child molesters should be KILLED…end of story.

    Damn…… probably a sista too. Even though the law states that you must be paid for jury duty you know the white man aint payin no sista fo missing work. They will probably replace her with one of the racist jurors to lock a nigga up fo life. Anyway why so much hate a gril wanted the cock and got served kells style. Free Kells play on playa

    Employers have to let you off for jury duty… she was probably just worried her face would be shown in the sex tape.

    Re: chitown lady

    Uhm, there is no federal law that requires paying anyone for jury duty. There are some states that have a law that they do but not all states and not all jobs as most job related laws pertain to those businesses with more than 10 employees and to those who are full time employees. I suggest y'all look things up before spouting off nonsense. There is no such law in Illinois.

    No doubt it was a WHITE juror dismissed so that pedophile/serial urinator could stack the jury w/ BLACKS. Disgusting pedo. :(

    To all those folks who say "OMGLOL SHE IZ PAID BY GOVENMONT 4 JUREE DOIOTY!!1", here is a term which you might find useful in the real world: Artificial Glass Ceiling. Not paying your way may be illegal, but it's REAL easy to over look someone when it comes to promotion time, when looking at Performance Management, and be picky if lay-offs are required. Take off your rose-tinted glasses, folks; Perez may stay pink, but the rest of the world is a dark, corrupt black. (That's a reference to a "black heart of stone", not a racial slur. It is possible to use words like 'black' and not be racist).

    I think it shows a lot about that woman's character to want to leave. She knows this is going to be highly publisized and it's nice that she is more concerned about other things than having her 15 minutes when this douche bag goes to jail.

    I love you and you will be fine.

    I'm convinced she wanted out. She was ok with being part of the jury on Thursday. Why all of sudden she doesn't want to be part of it? If the case is money, she would have known that reason on Thursday and would/should have stated that on Thursday when she was picked. R. Kelly is guilty, it was him in the video and everyone knows it.
