Creative? Yes.
Awkwardly bizarre? Absolutely.
Liable to cause friction on the home front? We’ll have to wait and find out.
A prospective juror known only as “Miss Bristol” was summoned for jury duty in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Her name was chosen in the sentencing phase of Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland school shooter who killed 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, four years ago.
The judge in the case collectively asked the jury pool if any of them had concerns about what was required of them. Miss Bristol told Judge Elizabeth Scherer that she would have some serious issues if the trial lasted a month.
Here’s how the exchange unfolded.
Miss Bristol: “First of all, let me clarify myself; July second is my birthday, July Fourth is my son, and the 18th is my other son. And again, I need to figure out something. I have my sugar daddy that I see every day.”
Judge: “I’m sorry? ‘My sugar daddy?’ I’m not exactly sure what you’re talking about.
Miss Bristol: “Well, I am married, and I have my sugar daddy. I see him every day.”
Judge (incredulously): “OK. All right. Ma’am, we’ll come back to you, OK? Thank you. Miss Bristol.”
Miss Bristol was dismissed.
Cruz is facing life in prison or the death penalty. Here’s hoping a responsible person replaces Miss Bristol, and Cruz is punished appropriately for his horrendous crime that ruined so many lives.
