Gregoire Avoids Jury Selection
Categories: Crime & Punishment, State of Washington
It's no surprise that Christine Gregoire wasn't selected for the jury when she was called in for jury duty yesterday. Lawyers (or recovering lawyers, as she cleverly puts it) rarely are.
The AP speculates that she wasn't selected because she used to supervise the defense lawyer, and that sounds reasonable enough. But forgive us if we find the thought of Gregoire being too defense-friendly a little funny in light of her super-stinginess with clemency and her budget's general callousness toward the less fortunate.
Of course, she's also looking to cut drug sentences, so maybe she isn't all fire and brimstone.
