By the end, the defendants were probably wishing you were their attorney.

I wonder what happened to that case? Probably guilty but I never found out. They did have good defense attorneys but based on the case summary they faced tons of charges. Many of the charges were against their wives or girlfriends, then they fled to California and were charged with subsequent offenses. I remember the defendant closest to me was grinning the entire time I was talking. I almost said something like, "hey pal, this has nothing to do with your case," but luckily I restrained.

The judge was great. He let me go on and on, occasionally interjecting relevant questions.

The only thing that irked me was one fellow jurist about three seats to my right. I have excellent hearing and during the sidebar he was whispering to the woman next to him that I was making up the story just to be excluded from the case. That was world class BS and I was ticked. I had no idea what voir doire would consist of, but once I heard that question being posed to everyone I knew how I had to answer once it was my turn. Police officers from California and Nevada were obviously going to be a major part of the testimony so the judge wanted our background with people in positions of authority.

I almost spoke up during the sidebar and told the judge what the other jurist had said. That might even have been proper, since we would have been seated on the same jury and possibly would have had a strained relationship during deliberations. But to tell you the truth, based on how my segment had gone I was sure the prosecution was going to exclude me. The judge had already said both sides were allowed a certain number of dismissals without providing reasons for it, as soon as voir doire finished.

Did anyone catch the movie 'ABDUCTED' on Lifetime last week?

To me it seemed like it was a movie about the prisoner and the prison guards wife.

The story was like this....

Same as like seen on UM with the prisoner being put to work on the guards house doing odds and ends.

Then the prisoner kidnaps the wife of the guard.

While on the run (only 2 weeks in this movie though) the prisoner lets the wife go and tells her that he was threatened by her husband to kidnap her and kill her. That he wanted her dead and that he was seeing another woman.

She decides to stay with him to help him solve the case with him being in jail... his ex wife set him up for muder.

The wife helps the guy, goes back to her husband and then gets even by lettng the media know about his plans to kill her.

So it's a little different from the UM segmentbut so close to it too.

I wonder if Bobbi was supposed to be killed by the prisoner.... and if her husband told him to and he decided not to.

Does anyone have any updates on this?

Anyone else see this movie?
