Jacko Jurors Pounce on Pizza
It says something when pizza is the only thing more appealing to Michael Jackson jurors than the amusing antics of Wacko Jacko himself.
On Tuesday, the jury, of its own volition, tacked on 15 additional minutes to its 10-minute-long snack break. From the Scotsman:
Judge Rodney Melville has been running an unusually rigid schedule with no lunch hour, just three quick snack breaks during six hours of testimony – a hunger-inducing regimen he calls “the Melville diet.”When jurors took an extra 15 minutes getting back into their seats Tuesday, he offered an explanation.
“The Olive Garden heard a CNN report that the jurors were starving to death,” he announced. “So they sent over a bunch of pizzas.”
He said the jury “sent out an attack squadron” with word that they wanted time to eat their pizzas. “So now they’re full, and they can thank CNN,” he said.
Olive Garden? Any port in a storm, I suppose.
