I like to bring you people things that will entertain you and help pass the time. Usually, my discussions will revolve around sports, women and funny videos. Occasionally, I like to drop some knowledge to some of you that..well have no knowledge. Let me tell you about a friend of mine that is currently doing his civil service, as a juror, at Sacramento County Court. The details of the case he's serving are irrelevant. What I do know, is this guy asked the bailiff if there was anyway he could wear shorts; due to his "ball sweat" problem. He explained to the bailiff how it was hard for him to focus with "ball sweat", and this guy was very well aware of the no shorts policy as I have copied onto this blog. Read the Dress Code and Code of Conduct below.
Found at: http://www.saccourt.ca.gov/jury/reporting.aspx
Dress Code and Code of Conduct
Be alert and courteous. You may bring a book to read while you are waiting for court to begin, or during recesses, but you will not be permitted to read while court is in session. If you have a pager or a cellular phone, you must turn it off or switch it to vibration mode while court is in session. Please dress appropriately for the courtroom. Business or casual attire is suggested. Shorts and tank tops are not acceptable. Any juror not appropriately dressed will be excused to return the next court day in appropriate attire. The temperature of the jury assembly area and courtrooms can be unpredictable. Jurors are encouraged to dress accordingly.
So now we all understand that shorts are not allowed. But, Mr. Juror, asked the bailiff and explained his "ball sweat" problem. The bailiff then asked the judge. It was the bailiff that pulled the juror to the said and explained to him, that he had been granted an exemption to rock shorts to jury duty. I guess rules are meant to be broken a little. So what's the point of this blog you ask? Well think about it, if a state rule can be amended just by asking, it should serve as a lesson for you all. Always ask, because you never know what can happen. Today three guys wore shorts, because of said juror's guts to ask the bailiff. The juror is now the man amongst the other men serving on the same jury. He will soon become the foreman of the deliberations. Soon, everyone serving jury duty will not be scared to ask if they can wear shorts. Remember friends, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people...
I leave you today with some knowledge. And knowledge is the ammunition some of you idiots need to get by in this cruel cruel world.
Extra credit: I'm suppose to be getting a photo from said juror to prove he wore shorts to the courthouse to serve jury duty. Once the photo has been received it will be posted...

was he wearing shorts and sandals?
i would wear shorts if they let me but i would not ask.
If the Defendant is entitled to a "jury of his peers ", what did he get to wear to court ? Probably some old Wrangler cutoffs and a give me head til I'm dead t-shirt that barely covered his gut. Hey folk hero, thanks for draining a little more out of the gene pool.
When I am found guilty and sentenced I hope it's by some people that have the decency to get all the way dressed in the morning.
Hey folk hero, will you wear sweat pants to jury duty in the winter time ?
This juror's leadership is going to propel him to the top of the juror heap. It is refreshing to hear about a modern day Batman, some one at the tip of the spear that we can all rally around. Shorts to jury duty and free lap dances, that is the world that I want to live in.
this can't be true. no judge will ever allow a juror to wear shorts to his court
i bet its true this blogger doesn't blog about lies but a picture would quiet the nay-sayers. this guy is awesome for doing that
does this guy have a girlfriend :) i'm single and would love to be with someone that's such a hero to his peers :)
I'll bet there is no girlfriend, but an older male companion and probably a cat won't be to far off.
Why so much hate on a man with balls big enough to sweat and ask a tough question that you would not? If his balls were small he wouldnt ask all they can say is no.
this guy is definitely a hillbilly. shorts to court wow
i'm sure this is the same guy collecting his welfare check while sitting on the couch drinking 40ozs of king cobra smoking marlboro reds. and he's deciding the outcome of a trial they need to better screen possible jurors. does he even know any laws
Yo this cat is the man, out here in the east coast no one would ever ask if they could wear shorts or sneakers to court. Big pimpin' man madd props to you, and Edson how do you meet these kind of people.
I'm guessing that Edson found this dude amongst the teenage runaways and crack heads at the Greyhound station. P.S. This "folk hero" is smoking generic menthols and drinking steel reserve on his dog hair and cat piss saturated couch, no brand names for this pillar of society.
I heard this guy is wearing sneakers and tshirts!Great find Edson this is what you moved to sac for?
This guy is the biggest loser. What an embarrasment to society. Get some class man.
What is society coming to? this 'so called juror,' frigging rainbow flag waiving liberal Franciscan needs to remove that tampon and deal with some ball sweat. WEAR YOYR PANTS SHYLOCK!
Where was this stud when I had jury duty? Ball sweat was the least of my problems, I was fighting off a severe foot odor problem and ass crack sweat that felt like a waterfall. My fellow jurors wouldn't even sit near me. If this beacon of common sense was in my jury I would have been spared the experience of spending hours in ball soup. I want to be the first to say thank you for opening a door that has been shut far to long.
Well all bitter people bashing this hero just remember if all your cousins werent out breaking laws this guy and all the others would not need to miss work to be there!Because your cousin gets dressed up for court means nothing he is on trial not the jury!
This is a true blog there's no lie in this article. The said juror will send pictures as soon the trial is over, because right now he's in the middle of being focused and on the verge of being foreman. Once he's foreman he will be the first human to lead deliberations and read the verdict in shorts.
This is absolute disrespect for the leagal system. The defendant should request a retrial based on the disrepect of the juror. We need to show leadership at all levels of the court system. Seems to me that the focus is being taken off the case and placed upon the rogue juror. We are loosing our society starting with the simple lack in judgement this joker, I mean juror, used when he asked to wear shorts in our forefathers court room.....Commi bastard!
Instead of playing this juror for asking a question we need to assess the decisions this judge makes in allowing these kind of guys to wear shorts.
The judge was probably caught off guard because he never imagined anyone to ask such a stupid question when the dress code is clearly outlined in the juror handbook.
is there a way we can get this article removed because reading this just upsets me more and more. To see that someone actually has the guts to disrespect the justice system this great country was built on is shameless. I bet this guys mother is real proud of him NOT!!!!
This is a serious lack of judgment by one man. I'm sure looking back at it now he realizes it was a terrible mistake to wear shorts while being a juror. Not only do I think he regrets his actions, but I believe he may not be as bad as describe by fellow commentors. However, if he is still wearing shorts even after reading all hearing about the complaints on this blog, then he should be ashamed of himself and move to a country where the legal system is not held as highly as it is in America.
What shocks me more than just the stupidity of this guy, because there are stupid people in this world. Is the stupidity of some of you that are defending this moronic state of thinking. This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it. I commend the blogger for bringing this to our attention, personally i feel like letters need to be sent to our local senate to make sure this never happens in our cities.
What difference does it make whether the juror is wearing shorts or a tux? If you are a defendant then the the jurors outfits are the least of your worries. Maybe we should provide a uniform for jurors. I'd like to hear some ideas on that.
uniforms of shorts, tank tops, sandals and bandana that represents the majority of people living in this country on trial
I believe this juror is exercising his right of the "1st amendment - freedom of speech." I am sure you all have said or been told "there are no stupid questions." This juror was told "if you have a question put it in writing or tell the bailiff." The juror did just that! (did as he was told) The ball was in the judges park to make the decision and he decided it was okay, get over it!!!!
Get over it already!! I think he is fabulous for having the guts to ask...the worst he could have been told was NO....but he was given permission by the judge!! And I am sure his mother is VERY proud of him!
He probably still lives with her. It is time this civic minded stud packs up his cat and moves out. This special needs juror is the skid mark on the underpants of society.
Hey when i guys got elephantitus wh ynot let him wear shorts and sandals & yes he wore flippers.
It's people like "concerned citizen" that make short buses and special needs classes necessary. Don't stick up for a classless booger eating spaz like this self proclaimed folk hero. Every time I think societies norms have bottomed out, along comes some semitard to dig a little deeper.
on the the edge of my seat to find out what this clown is all about!!!
Unless this jerkblossom is on an OJ type case, we should be seeing his picture soon. He's probably busy polishing his tooth and cleaning the shit stains out of his cordouroy OP shorts.
Can we expect a picture/mug shot of Sacramento's finest any time soon? I'd love the opportunity to shake his hand and thank him for making the rest of us look better.
