Police:  Juror in Houston pot trial caught smoking it

Woman charged with drug possession on break from trial

[Houston, Texas] Judge Sherman Ross tried to assemble a jury of peers for a woman accused of possession of a marijuana on trial Tuesday.

But authorities say prospective juror Cornelia Mayo might have taken that concept a bit too far after she was caught smoking a joint outside the courthouse during a break.

Oh man! Ain't that a bitch? So this is the direction our legal system is heading, eh? Can Cornelia Mayo not catch a fucking break, or can Cornelia Mayo not catch a fucking break? I don't know exactly how things work in Texas, but where I come from, that kind of dedication to a fair trial gets rewarded, not punished. What exactly was she doing wrong? The judge was trying to assemble 'a jury of peers,' which he obviously did a fantastic job of. While the rest of her stuffy-ass co-jurors were probably busy twidling their thumbs and hating every fucking moment of their jury duty, this woman was hard at work investigating the case for herself. She was doing nothing more than ensuring that she truly was a 'peer' of the accused. That's simply being a good citizen. I mean, let's be real here, no one in there goddamned right mind would be smoking a doob on break from the trial of a doob-smoker, unless they were just trying to see the world from the point of view of the person on trial. Civil servants, such as Ms. Mayo, who don't mind putting their own ass on the line for the integrity of a case, are a dying breed... which is most definitely not a good sign of things to come. You're a hero Ms. Mayo, and I salute you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a case of my own to go investigate...
