Out of the Blue

The Mets are in the middle of a series with the Phillies and the Knicks played the 76ers last night. As is always the case when watching too many sporting events in Philadelphia, I am now fighting a craving for a cheese steak, as every broadcast includes at least one scene of cheese steak porn.

First, how can a judge sentence someone who hasn't been charged with a crime? Second I doubt this punishment would hold up if the woman challenged. I would think it would be considered unusual punishment (if not cruel too). I don't know if jury duty fall under state or federal laws, but I thought you could only be called for jury duty once in a 12 month period.

Then again forcing someone into indefinite jury duty might not be the best punishment for them. She could decide blow every trial that she is assigned to by going against everyone else on the jury duty causing miss-trials and costing the court money in having to re-try all of the cases.
