Juror lied to get off Stevens jury, see horse race!!! :lol:

WASHINGTON - A juror who vanished during Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens' corruption trial told the judge Monday she lied about her father dying and flew to California to see horse races.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Marian Hinnant, identified as juror No. 4, to return to court to explain why she disappeared during jury deliberations. Hinnant, 52, brought a stack of handwritten notes with her to the court Monday along with public defender A.J. Kramer, and told the judge that her father hadn't died and she was at the Breeders' Cup in Arcadia, Calif.

She apologized for lying, and then started a long rambling story about horses, which included references to horse breeding, the Breeders' Cup, drugs, President Ford's son Steven and her condo in Florida being bugged.

Geez, The juror lied and what, this juror is wasting the taxpayer's money by putting the trial on hold just so she could go to a horse race? Now, That's really dumb.
 
I think it is pretty interesting, how involved people get with an interest in horses.

I agree Bott. There's a local radio talk show host in Milwaukee (Mark Belling) who has a strong interest in horse racing. In fact, he goes to the Kentucky Derby (and I believe the Breeder's Cup) every year. At the time of the Breeder's Cup and Kentucky Derby he talks about horse racing on his show rather extensively. Personally, I'm fascinated by the discussion, but not to the point where I would attend either event and bet on a horse.
