I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't want a divorce but had to because of circumstance.
Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races.
I have great faith in the jury system.
I hardly expected the grand jury to sustain me, after they saw everything different from what it had been while I was there. Yet they did, and their report to the court advises all the changes made that I had proposed.
When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
It was an accident of circumstance that I never married.
Every time you make a guess of what a judge is going to do... you're wrong, so I try to stay away from that.
At the end of my trial, I was rather hoping the judge would send me to Australia for the rest of my life.
You have had indeed a fair trial. It is a shocking thing when a judge of your high office is shown to have betrayed the truth and his honor, and I sentence you to the penitentiary.
I was privileged to serve as a judge.
