An Atlanta judge on Thursday ordered an unidentified juror being considered to sit for rapper Young Thug’s upcoming trial to write a 30-page essay on the importance of jury service after she skipped out on a selection appearance to go on vacation in the Dominican Republic, Fox News reports.
Juror Number 64 was arrested after landing at the airport and immediately hauled before Judge Ural Glanville to explain why she blew off the court date. Glanville then gave her the homework assignment in lieu of a 20 day jail sentence and $1,000 fine for disrespecting a sacred duty to the common law justice system. “You have to do APA style. You’re going to have to use at least 10 primary sources, 10 secondary sources,” Glanville said, adding “We’re going to run it through a plagiarism check – you gotta write it yourself. And you have to come back and talk to me about it.”
