She's not wrong. I had nothing better to do, so I sat on a jury for a three-day trial regarding an act of negligence which resulted in an injury. Defendant was an attractive, articulate, well dressed young woman. Plaintiff was an obese, badly dressed man in his fifties with an awful comb over who spoke heavily accented English. She was clearly at fault, based on her testimony and the relevant law cited in court. Initially ALL the men on the jury were on her side. "But she didn't MEAN to hurt someone." "She didn't KNOW he would come along right then." "This will ruin her life and he had medical insurance anyway." Unbelievable. It was almost impossible to get any of them to consider the actual facts and laws involved, but after a full day of deliberation, one of them finally engaged his brain. Even though one of the female jurors was equally an idiot, the rest of us were able to prevail, as a decision did not have to be unanimous. I can't imagine our panel being able to even understand a more complex case, let alone be calmly rational about one.
The one time I was on a jury, the defense lawyer was missing a hand, and badly groomed. He made a valid argument, but worded it in a convoluted, difficult-to-understand manner. The prosecuting lawyer was well-groomed, reasonably good-looking, and clear. In addition, his argument was about a technicality of the law, in a drug case where the Mexican-immigrant defendant was clearly guilty. He still should have got off on that technicality. I was the only one on the jury who even understood what the defense lawyer said. It took me over an hour to explain it to the only other person who even wanted to think or listen. Everybody else was talking about getting home for dinner on time, even though it meant twenty years of this guy's life to make the right decision. I am ashamed to say that I did not have the strength to fight those eleven people, but I was disgusted. It was vitriolic and base.
It's even worse. My sister opined to a lawyer friend that she thought it strange that uneducated people were more often selected for Jury duty. He asked her why she thought that and she said she had been called for Jury duty 5 times, while her engineer husband had never been. He sat back and confirmed it was true, especially toward engineers, because they're too rational. They tend to like people who are swayed by looks.
She's right about jurors. I once heard a juror say she voted not to convict because the domestic violence victim is "one of those large women who love black men". What in the h*ll does have to do with being physically assaulted!?
Funny, but this woman is a simple sociopath. She has no morals, but a solid grasp on reality. MTG is completely unhinged, a hateful lunatic, with no concept of reality.
She hasn't taken people like me into account. I'm perfectly okay with the idea of sitting on a jury and my CBA at work mandates I continue to receive my regular pay.
Strange thing is I Actually BELIEVE in doing my CIVIC DUTY. I NEVER try to get out of jury duty. I always intend on being the person I would want in the jury if it were my case...But they always seem to pick the ones who DON'T want to be there.
Not saying this young lady isn't a manipulative little brat but it IS FUNNY to see defense lawyers looking gobsmacked when the prosecuting attorney drops a major bombshell lol.
Fairly easy answer: the Margeret Samson id showed her as over 21. If she is being carded in a bar of course she will show it, and who cares what name it says?
They care because Margaret is over 21 and was pretending to be a minor named Hannah. (I don't remember all the details but her being Margaret was important.
Tbh ive never seen the whole episode, but as i remember after it was discovered that she was margeret and not hannah she claimed memory loss, pretendimg that she actually believed she was hannah. And the "proof" that this was a scam 2as that she gave the margeret id in a bar. But if she really did believe she was hannah, and she had an id that showed her over 21, of course she would give it in a bar. As far as she knows shes undersge trying to score booze, and she has a fake id, and who cares what name it says right?
Simple ..... she denied knowing her but had and used her id ..... doesn't matter if no-one cares about the name on the id for entry purposes .... her arrogance got her sprung, but seriously can't imagine many people looking at the face and thinking oh yeah young 🤔🤔
These shows are ridiculous with how the prosecutor gets all righteous and indignant and is basically litigating in his office. I don’t care if it’s “drama” it’s stupid af
A lawyer cannot legally lie, if they know of guilt, they must admit it and can only fight for reduced charges. The lawyer had been lied to and did not know what she was dealing with anymore - she had no grounds to defend her on, caught red handed like a lying snivelling rat.

Remind my brother ,who are overseas which his daughter..
"What about me, Fiona?

How could you?"
This episode was ICONIC

Sam Waterston...the best of the best!!!!♡♡♡♡
Abby was also good
She eventually got out, moved to another state and changed her name. She's currently a Congresswoman out of Georgia's 14th district.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 oh I can't even!
Funny, but this woman is a simple sociopath. She has no morals, but a solid grasp on reality. MTG is completely unhinged, a hateful lunatic, with no concept of reality.
when the lawyer knows shes been played
She hasn't taken people like me into account. I'm perfectly okay with the idea of sitting on a jury and my CBA at work mandates I continue to receive my regular pay.
Spoiler: she says this across from her "mom"
... who is so shocked she tells them all she'll testify.
The main issue most times is things like child care. They don't pay enough to cover a babysitter for the time so it actually costs money to serve.
AH-HA! It's the old Margarite Sampson Driver's License Trick!
Sneaky sneaky;)
😂
Always worked for me...
I remember this episode!! It was truly outstanding!!!
I know what you mean, I had to watch it again
Could you tell me what she did and how the Jury found her???
Strange thing is I Actually BELIEVE in doing my CIVIC DUTY. I NEVER try to get out of jury duty. I always intend on being the person I would want in the jury if it were my case...But they always seem to pick the ones who DON'T want to be there.
I so agree with this! Everyone wants their rights, but ignore their obligations.
I just got chosen for my first federal jury service. I'm excited!
Same
I never try to get out of jury duty, but they always call off the trial I'm supposed to show up for selection of.
I’ve only been called for jury duty when I had jobs with no pay during JD service. I hope I get to serve someday
Jack McCoy! Still looking good in the reboot too!
Do not try to outsmart Jack McCoy ! 😂
Sam Waterson was so good. Really good. Miss that show.
Dos you know that the show is still going, with the addition of Sam Waterston as well?
Gasp! Not the old Marguerite Sampson driver's license! 😱
Get em Jack!
This came from an actual case.
Great EP. FYI, she gets what's coming.
She's wrong. Jurors have an uncanny ability to see right through people like that. She's such a megalomaniac, she'll probably insist on testifying.
I know it's a show but she just admitted to lying under oath. So who's failing to understand?
I loved this episode!!!
Pretty cocky to believe you can sway 12 strangers. I'd be lucky to get one on my side.
All you need is one.
This episode should have been titled Arrested Development
Jack is the bomb!!!!
That actress did an amazing job of switching her face
Law and Order and SVU are by far the best dramas on tv...JMO
SVu ? Is what..Safety first,virtue and understand..
Ooh. I love me some that Jack McCoy,. Even though he is a workaholic and solitary drinker.
Loved this episode
Glad I bought my robot insurance from Sam
Randy Magnum excellent!
I hadn't thought of that skit in years!
I forgot all about that skit lol.
Cray Cray for the purpose....
Flashbacks to Evelyn Evernever.
Ain’t the woman the same kid from richy rich. Little ginger girl. Sure it is the same lady.
I was hoping someone would say what happened in the episode in the comments
*****SPOILER*****
Fiona's foster mother told her that she would tell the jury the truth and that the jury will believe her over Fiona's lies.
Tell the truth the whole truth so hell you god
Why is my baby mama on this show 😂
Psychopaths and the Insane and the Demon Possessed have a commonality
Yes, his name is joebama!
@@sheilagravely5621talk about insane ...partisan derangement much?
she got it lol the look on her face when she knew it was over.. I've seen the whole story
Yes, the end of the scene was unfortunately cut off. Bye bye Fiona.
Not saying this young lady isn't a manipulative little brat but it IS FUNNY to see defense lawyers looking gobsmacked when the prosecuting attorney drops a major bombshell lol.
Congrats, you invoked fines and penalties, or prison
Like a female George Santos.
Another beautiful killer episode. Often included in L&O marathons. Ooo, I miss those on A&E.
Oooh baby those Sunday afternoon A&E marathons. Those really hit the spot back in the day.
@@asecretone Amen. And I used to tape those on my....vcr. Best thing when laid up with the flu.
what's title of episode? I'd like to watch.
Did McCoy get her at trial?
Her foster mom testifies against her. The camera catches her in this clip for a moment.
Well, I got that recorded so thanks I'll be going now
How do people watch this with the background music always being so horrible ?
That actress was in the Richie rich movie ^u^
Episode and season please and thank you
Season 13, Episode 2 ("Shangri La")....I just read it in a comment.
Jack McCoy is the man!
Shanghai-LA season 13, episode 2.
What season and episode this one?!?
Then her mother speaks up and says, "They'll believe me, Fiona." then she goes to jail for a long time. I watch too much law and order
We are not in dance for wanting the truth but as they say in the lounge we we
So many people in this world who play pretty girl. Well, try under the cloak and say they’re pretty
Which episode was this again?
Law & Order 13x2: "Shangri La".
Skylar Frisk
I never thought of about it that way. If you're too dumb to get out of jury duty, I don't want my fate in your hands. Just kidding.
This girl reminds me of Greta. Made herself famous a few years back.
What women don't?

They care because Margaret is over 21 and was pretending to be a minor named Hannah. (I don't remember all the details but her being Margaret was important.
Bect she was posing as a high school girl and getting monetary support from her scam victims. Called her self Fiona to. Those folks.

Women lie all the time but people give them a free pass.
@@whyeventry45 No free pass there. So stop lying.
hey defense lawyer. you are not protecting your client.
Can't protect her when she's been lying to you as well.
A lawyer cannot legally lie, if they know of guilt, they must admit it and can only fight for reduced charges. The lawyer had been lied to and did not know what she was dealing with anymore - she had no grounds to defend her on, caught red handed like a lying snivelling rat.
@@PJOZeus A lawyer cannot lie? Must come as a shock to a great many liars...I mean lawyers.
A lawyer, the person who can ruin other people's lives by getting a true criminal cleared of any wrong doing.
I think she was stunned speechless
That's one hot attorney she's got.
