In the latest occurrence of  juror idiocy, a St. Petersburg television station reports that Jacob Jock (real name) sent a FaceBook friend request to a female civil defendant (characterized as both young and attractive) during the course of trial.  The judge was not amused and Jock was dismissed from the jury.  Not content with his dismissal, Jock apparently posted on his FaceBook page, “Ha, ha, ha, I got out of jury duty.”   

The bottom line is that he apparently did not get a date with the defendant; but he did get a date with the judge to discuss Jock’s alleged contempt of court.
