Courts

I recently was selected to serve as a juror on a DUI case. I was the next to last person selected (the last woman). A man was the last selected and was the alternate. While sitting in the jury room waiting for the trial to begin, the bailiff came in and told me that I had been released from serving and that I had to leave. After reading the disposition of the case, I saw that the defense had made a preemptory motion to have me dismissed and it was granted by judge. I am very troubled by this and would like to know why I was let go. Can you give me any insight into this?

When you find information after the trial that your attorney was under the influence of drugs and in a rehabilitation center shortly after the trial, is this information grounds for a new trial? What if your lawyer was talking to your co-defendant without the presence of his attorney about the case with him, is that allowed? Can you appeal your sentence? Sentenced in Federal Court.
