EXCLUSIVE: Abdulmutallab Jurors Excused for “Religion,” “Single Mom” Reasons; Judge Severely Limits Terrorism Evidence
As you’ll note one of the jurors, Juror #26, was dismissed for “religious reasons.” What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that the juror was a religious Jew and could not serve because of the upcoming holidays? Or does it mean something else . . . like the juror was Muslim and felt he/she couldn’t agree that this man is really a terrorist? Or was it something else? Sadly, we may never know . . . unless we can get our hands on Juror #26’s jury questionnaire answers.
As you’ll also note there is the disturbing trend of the “Single Mom” excuse. At least two jurors, Juror #92 and Juror #318, got out of jury duty because they are single moms. That’s ridiculous. If you choose to get pregnant and have a kid out of wedlock, this is now an excuse to get out of performing your civic duties while men and married mothers are penalized and stuck? Yes, if you provide your kid a mother and father in the ever extinct nuclear family, you are sentenced to jury duty. But screw around and become a baby mama, and you get your “Get Out of Jail Free” card. What’s wrong with this country? You get punished for doing the right thing.
Let’s say a married couple decide to only have one parent work and the other parent has responsibilities at home. Well, they don’t get the same break as a single mom, and they have to spend money they . Let’s say both parents are working and they need both incomes to survive, just as much as “Single Working Mother” Juror #92. I wonder if a “single working dad” would get the same privilege of avoiding jury duty in Judge Edmunds’ court. I doubt it because Judge Edmunds is well-known a left-wing feminist appointed by George H. W. Bush, and while she’s always been very liberal, she’s gotten worse and more open about it over the years. She served for years on the Detroit Jewish Community Relations Council, the unrepresentative, unelected group that deigns to speak for me, and she frequently expounded on her wacko, left-wing views (very improper because many of her statements regarded issues and cases that might come before her).
You should also check out this other recent order Judge Edmunds issued in the case. Pay special attention to the second page. Judge Edmunds, who has a history of being soft on terrorists (including accused Al-Qaeda terrorist Omar Abdul-Fattah Shishani) and their co-conspirators, refused to allow federal prosecutors to introduce a video of Osama Bin Laden praising the UndieBomber as evidence in the trial. She also refused to allow almost all of the “Inspire Magazine” evidence. Inspire is Al-Qaeda’s magazine, and it included instructions on how captured terrorists can pass messages in prison, undetected. During his stay in prison in Michigan, Abdulmutallab was caught with the instructions, hidden inside his clothing. Judge Edmunds severely limited the evidence on this that can be shown to a jury. Why?
Like I said she’s soft on Islamic terrorists, perhaps as soft as she is on single moms.
Alhamdillullah [praise allah].
While I fully agree that being a single mum is no excuse for getting out of Jury Service, I would have to point out to you that not all single mums are that way through choice or through “screwing around”. How do you know that none of them are widows? More than that, how do you know that none are widows of service personnel who have given their lives in conflict?
I’m aware that a percentage would, indeed, be covered by your blanket condemnation, but you cannot in all honesty point the finger of moral superiority without knowing all the backgrounds.
