I feel bad for the jury foreperson

[Stinky The Clown]

She'd have done herself a great personal service to shun the public.

Hate mail and threats will follow from all sides.

[Deuxcents]

1. I wish she had more direction from the courts about the media

Which have been biting at the bit for information n she gets interviewed by a seasoned interviewer while she looks so inexperienced n ripe for the pickins’. She doesn’t seem to be aware of the big bad world out there n that her life n those she knows will never be the same. I was impressed w/ her saying she was on the jury as she thought that’s her contribution to being a good citizen but, o, my. She should have passed on this request for an interview.

[claudette]

20. A "good citizen"

doesn’t go on TV and act like a school girl about such a serious issue

[inthewind21]

55. newsflash

in 2023, yes they do.

[claudette]

57. What a pity

What has happened to America when this can be accepted?

[rubbersole]

2. Not the face of this investigation that Fani Willis probably wants.

That thought was expressed on Alex Wagner tonight.

[Skittles]

3. what jury?

what did I miss?

[LuckyCharms]

[Skittles]

13. OMG I just checked her out

she has the demeanor of a 12 year old girl, and speaks with "vocal fry" - WTeverlovingF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Celerity]

18. The fry

[hlthe2b]

29. Perfect. Now let's see them address the "uptalk" affectation with it where everything is a ?

Have any other DUers seen that bathroom remodel ad with that former blonde home renovator tv personality Christina something (I think she's on her third recent husband so I can't keep up with her last name changes)... Vocal fry plus Uptalk... UGGGH.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. I have seen it? And hate it? And can't mute it fast enough? ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

45. LOL! So perfect!

[PlanetBev]

46. OMG, I thought it was just me!

When that Christina person comes on, it’s absolute torture to me! I’ve worn down the batteries in my remote. How do these people get their own shows?

Worse than Valley Girl speak….and I’m from the San Fernando Valley.

[Paladin]

33. See Urban Dictionary site...

...for definitions of both "vocal fry" and "upspeak."

You're welcome.

[hlthe2b]

39. UD claims the two to be mutually exclusive. Not in my experience.

[Paladin]

41. I'm just grateful to UD for the definitions. (nt)

[Skittles]

72. omg they nail it

both are annoying as all hell!

[spooky3]

5. The Georgia special grand jury. There are some videos posted in the

DU video forum that describe this.

[Meadowoak]

6. Her interview should have never been aired.

[PlutosHeart]

7. She should have never opened her mouth.

[2naSalit]

11. +1

[BigmanPigman]

8. I don't, she should have kept her big mouth shut!

She probably has done more harm than good. Pathetic! Another moron, just what we don't need at this point.

[samnsara]

31. i dont agree.. she was fine. what do people expect? who do they (we) want? another suit and tie?

..America is made up of all sorts of people and we cant always get what matches our idea of right or wrong or good and bad or pretty and ugly. Some people speak better than others but so what? This jury is only a fact finding body.




i vote we all just chill a bit.

[inthewind21]

58. I second that

[PJMcK]

37. What harm?

Please explain.

Thanks.

[Cha]

9. But since it was aired.. Barb McQuade

had this to say..

Link to tweet

[Bev54]

10. Why did she make the decision to put herself out into the press? She did not

have to do that, nobody knew who she was. It is supposed to stay secret, so what the hell is she doing?

[enough]

30. ??? Are you kidding -- she's not wearing a ring means she's going on TV

looking for a man???

[KS Toronado]

44. Sorry you misunderstood I said

"her 15 minutes of fame would lead somewhere", after watching her on MSNBC I came away with the
feeling she was promoting herself to become important in her community. Happily married woman would have
been wearing her wedding band so as not to give viewers the wrong idea.

"she's not wearing a ring means she's going on TV looking for a man" never said that, becoming the talk
of her town will make her popular and also unpopular with some, is she looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse
I have no idea, that's why I said MAYBE. Have a nice day.

[Scrivener7]

49. Well, folks, we didn't think it was possible but he just dug that hole EVEN DEEPER!

[yardwork]

51. Wait, what?!

Edited to add that I was momentarily speechless. I don't think I've read anybody say "A happily married woman would have worn her wedding band so as not to give the wrong impression..." since the 1970s, and it was a very outdated concept then.

[Scrivener7]

70. Really. I feel like I should be wearing a bustle, reading that.

[inthewind21]

61. WTAF

[niyad]

74. I am stunned to see this kind of blatantly sexist BS on this board, and from

such an unexpected source. Whether she is wearing a ring or not has absolutely NOTHING to do with ANYTHING about the special grand jury. NOTHING!!!! So why did you not only bring it up, but defend it when you were, quite correctly, called on it??

By the way, I know a number of happily married people who do not wear rings. And several singles who wear rings so they won't be bothered.

[Scrivener7]

35. Jesus effing .... are you serious with this shit?

You just told us a lot about yourself that you probably rather we don't know. Or you should rather we don't know.

[KS Toronado]

47. Have nothing to hide

You projecting?

[Scrivener7]

50. Clearly you do. Apparently you don't realize it.

[BlackSkimmer]

60. No kidding.

Very revealing.

And who looks for a wedding ring while watching a tv interview?

[BlackSkimmer]

56. Are you actually being serious?

You think she's looking for a man???

Oh good lord, this place.

[inthewind21]

59. WTF

[W_HAMILTON]

17. Wrong. News agencies uncovered her identity.

Her identity was revealed to news agencies when it was included on subpoenas obtained through open records requests.

[cilla4progress]

12. Kirschner,

Glenn that is, isn't worried.

[betsuni]

14. I see people who bash Democrats for supposedly being mean condescending elites

who ignore and put down rural working class people now doing exactly that, making fun of the jury foreperson.

[Easterncedar]

15. Yes. We should do better.

[claudette]

21. Because she is a flake

who has jeopardized a serious case all for her 15 minutes of fame. Disgusting

[betsuni]

22. But she's working class. Working families. Revolution.

Will of the people. Populism! It's OK to be Angry About Capitalism!

[claudette]

23. This has nothing to do

with those concepts to me. This is a flake jeopardizing a criminal case to get attention. Utterly disgusting

[betsuni]

24. I insist, the BS that working class, working families, people vote for Republicans

due to economic insecurity because Democrats are mean coastal elites and ignore them and there is a populist Will of The People is fucking BS.

[claudette]

25. ???

???

[RandiFan1290]

26. Just ignore them. nt

[demmiblue]

27. It's an obsession.... just ignore.

[PJMcK]

38. Please explain how any cases are jeapordized

Professionals such as Glenn Kirschner and Barbara NcAuade don’t seem concerned.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks.

[claudette]

40. Some of her comments

might be cited in a future trial as influencing a jury pool, e.g. or might be grounds for an appeal. I’m not a lawyer but I’ve heard some say this was not smart of that child.

[Autumn]

42. Interesting that you called her that. A child does not serve on a jury.

I can't believe people losing their shit because the jury forewoman who is giving us details doesn't fit their idea of what she should be.

[inthewind21]

63. "I've heard some say "

There's a FOX talking point if ever I heard one.

[claudette]

64. They were

learned lawyers not just “they say” people

[inthewind21]

62. WOW

Judgmental much?

[Kennah]

68. People of the land

[claudette]

69. LOL

[Kennah]

71. Waco Kid had sage wisdom decades ago

[Scrivener7]

36. Interestingly, none of the comments has a single thing to do with any of that.

But carry on.

[claudette]

48. Yes but

Her behavior came across as a giggly silly unserious child

[Scrivener7]

52. Definitely. But it has nothing to do with "coastal elites" or rural anything.

[claudette]

53. I know!

[claudette]

19. I don't

She brought this on herself. She’s a silly child

[allegorical oracle]

28. She's young & naive and I fear for her well-being. 'Tis a mean trumpian world out there, now. nt

[Skittles]

73. 30 is not that young

she did not come across as "delightful" to me at all - she's immature and annoying

[kentuck]

32. I think the "average" person may look at her information very differently...

...than political junkies or folks here on DU?

They would likely see her as more "normal" than the talking heads or politicians they usually see on television.

One possible positive from her information is that the door for discussion by "normal" Americans may have been opened?

[maxsolomon]

43. don't know that i feel "bad" for her

she did not put forth much in the way of sober, contemplative gravitas. she seemed impossibly young. better to refuse the interview entirely.

apparently she's never voted and was super excited to meet guiliani. she was the leader of a grand jury? i fear that's the danger of this process. the only people who can be neutral arbiters are the least informed.

i hope that interview doesn't lead to the RWNM using her to attack the process, but I know better. they use every weapon they can find.

[Meowmee]

54. I don't

First this has nothing to do with her background or where she is from. She is a fool/ idiot evidenced by her crazy demeanor and she is compromising one of the most important trials this country may ever see. Apparently that is allowed in GA grand jury rules. Jurors are normally not supposed to give interviews discussing anything about a trial while it is still in process. She could have ulterior motives for doing this and she has prejudiced further events in the case by expressing her “love” of RG as an honest man.

She, and the media and these rules are making a mockery of the entire justice system. The whole climate here of how these matters are handled is bsc imo. The media and all of the years of reality crap tv is a huge part of normalizing all of this.

[inthewind21]

65. Please explain

Exactly how she is "compromising" anything?

"Jurors are normally not supposed to give interviews discussing anything about a trial while it is still in process" Has there been a trial going on that none of the rest of us know about? When were the indictments for this trial handed down?

"She, and the media and these rules are making a mockery of the entire justice system." SMH

[Autumn]

66. I don't .I watched her and she was exited and delightful. That was probaly the first big thing she

was involved with. Most jury cases are boring as fuck, she was on a good one.

[Kennah]

67. I can't figure out if she's a MAGAt

She was positively giddy talking about Lyndsey and Rudy

[NowISeetheLight]

75. Lottery

She probably has visions of a movie, book deal, tv show, flying around the country for interviews on Today and 60 minutes. She’ll find out the reality is probably not what she expected.
