Wednesday’s Headlines: Jurors Love Us Edition

Remember, you're under oath.

A juror in a Brooklyn criminal case on Tuesday was asked the usual questions about his opinions and his hobbies (riding his bike and playing soccer), but when the judge asked for his favorite magazine, he didn't hesitate: Streetsblog (though the court reporter transcribed it as "Street Blogs").

We're proud that jurors are increasingly (well, apparently increasingly) citing Streetsblog in the sacred voir dire process — it's important for the court to know that some jurors won't be a pawn of car culture. We don't know if this anonymous juror was picked for the panel, but we salute him and thank him for his service.

You're excused.
