“Your honor the juror in question called my client orange” - lawyer
“sustained your client is orange, moving on” - judge

[Vlasov]

The idea of a "jury of your peers" comes from the Magna Carta, but the phrase doesn't actually appear in the U.S. Constitution. Instead what we have is a right to "an impartial jury" drawn from the surrounding region. There's an interesting question in whether "impartial" means "disinterested, " because "partial" is derived from the same Latin root as is the word "peer."' So it is inconsistent to require a jury to be impartial and then also require it to be made up of peers. In old English cases they would often have to import a jury from your local area, made up of people who would be familiar with you, and expected to know something about your character, reputation, local standing, and local habits and norms.

0:36 "If you haven't been following the build-up of this case..."

Me: You should get in touch with the Court as a potential juror?

The huge diversity of American lawyers struggling and failing to pronounce the French word "voir" is one of my guilty pleasures.

I've been on some juries, including one for a murder/arson case. It's always very interesting, at least to me, to watch the process of seating a jury. In the murder/arson case, a name was called, and a heavily pregnant woman got herself to her feet and headed for the jury box. The judge asked her, "When's your baby due?" The woman said, "Last week!" She was immediately excused. After a few hours I ended up an alternate juror for that case. The defendant was found guilty of arson, but they never proved that she had killed the victim. I don't live in New York so there's no chance I'll be called for Trump's jury.

The image of Devin coming out of the bottom of the screen while Spencer is discussing "the person who needs to be the smartest person in the room, even if they aren't" got a hearty chuckle out of me. Well done editor.

[TAndreMotorsports]

8:07 nice job editor!!! Sneaking legal eagle in the questionnaire "what new do you watch" top notch

[CascadeTwelve]

Scowl Owl's pacing and tone have improved substantially over previous videos! Great to see he's found a good vibe on camera 😊

[adamkuch]

Objection! A jury that is awake and sane is not a jury of his peers.

[JeremyCoatney]

"May we live in interesting times"? How dare you curse us like this sir 😭

[low-energypolitics]

I've heard so many people talk about Trump snoozing across PodCasts, YouTube videos, and more traditional news. How was this my first time hearing an anti-woke pun?!

[addymant]

8:11 Love that y'all edited "Legal Eagle" on to the list of media sources

[chrishyde]

16:41 "Smartest dude in the room" pop up, hilarious!

[Drivr]

Re: volunteering for jury duty. The statement, "I guess that's one way to pass the time." made me chuckle. 😄

[mandytheythem]

Was literally just talking about this topic with my lawyer dad and my mom who had been on a federal jury lol. Good timing.

[daiakunin]

The scowl owl is hitting us hard with the dad jokes!
The coffee segue was also brilliant.

[travispalen]

@16:35 boom roasted

Side note - Scowl Owl and Chaos Lawyer are really helping to up this channel's expansive explanatory abilities. Thank you for bringing them on board and letting them be themselves - I really appreciate the analysis of these larger legal issues from multiple voices/perspectives.
