I love Mr. Winkle with no apologies.

Samer - Last year, I received some info about Jungle Bird that was forwarded to me that paints a different image of this guy (a darker one, I would say) from what you've presented here. A burner commenter mentioned some legal issues this guy has, I asked him what it was, he sent the info to me.

That's preposterous. The Trayvon Martin articles, for examples, have been thankfully sincere. And even if what you are saying is true, that sarcasm is a Jezebel editorial mandate, it's worthy of criticism and, moreover, makes writers look like assholes.

"Matt Sandusky, the adopted son of super cool dad and former super cool Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, has filed to have his name changed."

Do me a favor and DON'T go telling the internet what name he chooses, okay?

Matt soon-to-be-NOT-Sandusky is a victim of abuse. One of the reasons he is changing his name must be to protect his privacy, and distance his affiliation from his evil adoptive 'father'. So how about NOT running his picture with this post? Just a thought.

This is great. There's a lot wrong with most of the ballpark experience, most of it stemming from a fear of a quiet moment or an empty cup-holder, so let's not limit this to just the music.

why the hell are you in the grey? anyway, YES to your post.

"Jurors paid for their own purchases and appointment costs"

I've read this twice and I'm trying to find out if we angry that this happened or if we're mad that the media made this A Thing because it was the wimmenfolk.

They probably just wanted them somewhere there wouldn't be a lot of other people.

I love how the 'Note' at the end quietly mentions these women had to pay for all services and experiences themselves. So basically the beef is they were allowed outside of their rooms? Being on a sequestered jury should not mean you are held in solitary detention. The fact any excursion required a chaperon is a…

Wait, I'm supposed to be angry now that a Sherrif escorted them to an outback where they were allowed to purchase their own blooming onion? There are many reasons to feel outrage over the Zimmerman trial. This is not one of them.

A trip to Ripleys and dinner at the worst steakhouse ever seems more like punishment than relaxation. But honestly if I were a juror on such a horrible, emotionally-draining case, I'd probably be sad-eating bloomin onions all day.

Want me to get mad about this? Show me that this treatment went above and beyond what would be "normal" for a sequestered jury, and we'll see if I can muster up some outrage for you. Being sequestered must be incredibly stressful—no contact with the outside world for 22 days is a long time. The state needs to do…

If I got stuck on some sensational case I sure as fuck would want some creature comforts. Most likely I would find a way to get out of jury duty, because I am A. a terrible citizen, B. lazy as fuck, C. not gonna be locked down for months just so some asshat gets a fair trial.

I'm okay with making sure jurors who are completely sequestered and on such a high profile case don't go completely stir crazy during the process. Though I think the Outback trip and Lone Ranger are both questionable under the 8th Amendment.
