One of the smarty-pants jurors (“Juror Jonathan” of Fayetteville, Arkansas) tweeted the following message on twitter: “oh and nobody buy Stoam. Its [sic] bad mojo and they’ll probably cease to Exist, now that their wallet is 12m lighter.” What is it with these people? If you are going to break a rule, be a little smarter and don’t broadcast it to the world. This bozo blunder is painstakingly reminiscent of the Judge Lawyer Ex Parte Communication on Facebookstory.

For those you don’t know what twitter is (do you sleep all day?), its basically a system where people broadcast what they are doing, for all the world to see. If you don’t know what twitter is, chances are you won’t understand why it would even exist. Fortunately or unfortunately, it’s a world full of yentas, and some people are obsessed with reading that Jack loves eating his cherry pie, or that Wanda is reading a book that she is enjoying soooo much.

The problem with Juror Jonathan is that jurors are usually told not to discuss or share any information about the trial to or with the public. Good one, Jonathan.

So we’re entering the realm of twitter legal issues. Well here’s my tweet for the day – Lawyer Lunch: Hey Jonathan, if you wanted out of the jury, you could’ve just pulled the good ‘ole Larry David stunt!

It is possible that bills testing positive for cocaine may not have actually been used by someone snorting the drug, but may have come into contact with other such bills inside dollar counting machines at banks. The study also revealed that the levels of cocaine found on the bills is not enough to spark any health alarms. However, bank tellers who deal with large quantities of bills can inhale enough cocaine “dust” to actually test positive for the drug. That explains alot – how else could bank tellers appear so happy and stimulated in an arguably not-so-stimulating and happy line of work?

The United States had the highest (no pun intended) percentage of tainted currency, followed by Canada.
