Trump Called to Jury Duty

"Although New York real estate mogul Trump had to report for jury duty just like everybody else, it was no mundane ordeal, especially for fellow potential jurors.

 "I have jury duty, can you believe this? I look forward to it actually," Trump said. "I have no expectations. I just hope they're innocent. Whoever it is, I hope they're innocent."

Ultimately Trump was dismissed and not chosen for a case, but here's what happened when the Republican presidential candidate showed up for jury duty today:

 Arriving in a limo, Trump was greeted by a few hundred reporters.

As Trump walked from the limo and up the stairs of the courthouse, one reporter asked, “Are you ready?”
Trump responded, “I’m ready.”

Asked whether he was hoping to be selected, Trump said with a smile: "Not particularly. But we'll see what happens."

 “It’s like winning the lottery, to come on Donald Trump Day,” Alex Hamburger, the 22-year-old juror who sat next to Trump this morning, told ABC News.

"He was a nice guy to speak to. I didn’t think he was going to speak to me. I asked what he was having for lunch, almost as a joke, because he’s just sitting there, everyone's quiet, no one’s speaking,” said Hamburger, who also told ABC News that he would not vote for Trump.

 Trump filed with his fellow New Yorkers into the jury room at 60 Centre St., the location featured on TV show “Law and Order.” Once inside, Trump first took a seat in the front row with his security detail sitting right behind him, then moved to the second to last row. Most New Yorkers inside ignored the Donald, though a couple did ask to take selfies with him. He was also asked by sketch artists Shirley and Andrea Shepard to sign two court sketches of himself.

As he walked back into the courtroom after a 10-minute break, one man yelled out “Save this country, will you?”

 Quirk told ABC News there will be no special treatment for Donald Trump, but Trump got what they call a “special response team” that they use for high profile cases because “everyone has a right to their own privacy.”

“He’s doing his civic duty and he should be proud,” said David Bookstaver, spokesman for the New York State Unified Court System.

Well, Trump completed his civic duty and will not be called in again for another 6 years." yahoo
