There's nothing funny about racism, and there's nothing especially funny about racism in a court of law. Just ask any one of the countless people of color railroaded by our judicial system. I seriously doubt if any of them walked out of court in stitches from fits of laughter. But even with that being the case, this is one day I wish I were in this particular Brooklyn courtroom. I can assure you my raucous laughter may have very well landed me in contempt of court.
An incensed federal judge sentenced a racist Brooklyn woman to indefinite jury duty on Tuesday after she trashed the NYPD and minorities.
"This is an outrage, and so are you!" Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis told the woman, holding up her bile-filled juror questionnaire.
Juror No. 799, an Asian woman in her 20s who said she works in the garment industry, was up for jury duty in the death penalty trial of Bonanno crime boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano.
It didn't take long for her to start looking worse than the defendant.
Asked to name three people she least admired, she wrote on her questionnaire: "African-Americans, Hispanics and Haitians."
When the judge asked why she answered the question that way, she replied, "You always hear about them in the news doing something."
