Bob Menendez Trial-Juror Asks One of the Most Idiotic Questions in Legal History

One of the jurors in Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez’s corruption trial paused the second day of deliberations to ask the judge a simple question: Just what is a Senator anyway?
In today's hyper-partisan world, there are a few moments when all of us can admire the stupidity of your average jury-duty serving American.

Maybe it was a rhetorical question.

That's the problem with a jury of your "peers." Rarely are they your peers.

Perhaps it was more of a metaphysical investigation by the juror than the seeking of a simple definition?

You know Bob is shitting his pants

Considering the trial has been ongoing since September, I'm afraid it's probably a juror with less than a high school education who slept through most of the testimony.

Could they believe in transsenatorialism?
As in, if I really believe I am a Senator, then I am one?

And these people are expected to be able to understand complex financial transactions?? He's going to walk.

At least they asked.
The jury in Pike County, MS, didn’t know what “unanimous” meant and it helped cause a mistrial in the burning death of that girl.

A jury of your peers is a scary, scary thing.

i think there is a more charitable interpretation of this seemingly odd question - the defense argument is that menendez isn't guilty because he was not "officially acting" as a senator or public servant when he did favors for his patron (a resident of florida and not one of menendez's constituents).
i hope they throw the book at menendez, and think it was a shame that bob mcdonnell got off as well. but that is likely why the juror asked that question.

If you don't know what a senator, do you know the difference between guilty & not guilty

quote:I think Menendez is guilty as hell. But that juror is neither his peer, nor remotely capable of the general claim. The judge should have kicked that individual off the jury as answer to the question.

Very likely a product of our superb public school system.
More low-information specimens like that one roaming around everywhere.

Well, the truth is no one knows anymore..They used to represent the people, but that’s not the real answer nowadays.
