16. They bounced 4 of us. The rejects were chosen by blind ballot by the court clerk (drawing slips of paper from a box.)

You weren't a reject, you were a trump card. You done good.

I think I hold some kind of record for time spent on a jury: 2.5 years
on a federal Grand Jury, but it was interesting to say the least.

Wow, I can only imagine how much that would suck.

Were you allowed to read the paper or watch TV during that time?

Awesome! The gang leader was convicted, and Judge Pereksta sentenced the him last fall. The article below says he got 80 years, but I see a conflicting report in the trentonian that he was sentenced to life for ordering the Dotson murder, plus 20 years for the attack on Alex Ruiz.

Quote:

TRENTON - Minutes after Latin King leader Jose "Boom Bat" Negrete issued a rambling indictment on society and blamed his victims for their own deaths, a judge sentenced him to spend the next 80 years behind bars for ordering the murder of Latin "Queen" Jeri Lynn Dotson and another gang underling in 2004.

Meting out the harshest punishment she could, Superior Court Judge Darlene Pereksta on Tuesday called the 27-year-old gang kingpin a bully and a coward for dispatching a group of young men to execute Dotson and Alex Ruiz, who survived.

"You had power over people weaker than you and you abused that power to commit crimes, to kill," Pereksta said.

And 'Ace' himself got life+20.

Quote:

Angel “Ace” Hernandez was convicted of pulling the trigger as it was pointed at Dotson’s head and was sentenced to life plus 20 years in prison.

Is that a bizarre way of saying he shot her in the head, or was there something else going on?
