The taxpayers.

What is a “fulled”? Anyway, try again. $40 per hour x 12 jurors = $480 per hour.

> then what about a sequestered jury? $12000/day

$40 per hour per juror per hour x 12 jurors = $3,840 per 8 hour day. If they are sequestered they should be comparably compensated for that as well. Probably on the same way that people who work at fire stations receive for compensation. I don’t think that anything but the most incompetent or corrupt accounting, that would add up to “$12000/day”

Your display of skills has well served your question.

Dude, your arrogance is only surpassed by your ignorance. Most jury selections for trial include at least one alternate, and in many cases two.

What makes you think that the time spent in a sequestered hotel should be compensated at a lesser rate than time in the courtroom? 13 jurors at $40/hr for 24 hrs is $12480. Incompetent or corrupt....seems like your 'moronic loser' comment, applied incorrectly.

And you think the taxpayers should pick up the tab.... With what money? Gonna raise taxes to pay for this? My guess is you don't pay taxes in the first place, and probably dream of making half of your proposed $40/hr.

'Moronic loser'.....I still think your application is entirely too far from your own keyboard.
