She still spent 3 days in jail that she will never get back and probably spent more than the $200 fine clearing her name. There was no justice for her.WildBill wrote:US Magistrate Robert Faulkner on June 6, 1995, set aside a Texas state judge's contempt ruling against Dianna Brandborg, who invoked privacy rights in refusing to answer some jury-selection questions. As a prospective juror for a capital murder case in Jan 1994, Brandborg declined to answer 14 of the 110 questions on a form, so Judge Sam Houston cited her for contempt and sentenced her to three days in jail and a $200 fine. The district attorney's office may appeal the ruling, which observers say could limit other lawyers' voir dire questions.
