This is my favorite quote:<BR/><BR/>"I just found him to be a knowledgeable, normal person," said Cynthia Lovell, a nurse and registered Republican who says she now regrets voting for President Bush in last year's election. "He kept us focused. He wanted us all to have our own say."<BR/><BR/>Here's the story:<BR/><BR/>John Kerry Elected ... Jury Foreman Wed Nov 23, 9:15 AM ET<BR/> <BR/>Sen. John Kerry's public profile and prosecutorial past didn't spare him from performing that most mundane of civic responsibilities — jury duty.<BR/><BR/>Kerry was not only chosen this week to sit on a jury in Suffolk Superior Court, but also was elected foreman.<BR/><BR/>The case involved two men who sued the city for injuries suffered in a 2000 car accident involving a school principal. The Kerry-led jury rejected their claim Tuesday, and his fellow jurors said the state's junior senator was a natural leader.<BR/><BR/>"I just found him to be a knowledgeable, normal person," said Cynthia Lovell, a nurse and registered Republican who says she now regrets voting for President Bush in last year's election. "He kept us focused. He wanted us all to have our own say."<BR/><BR/>The former Democratic presidential candidate reported for duty Monday and none of the lawyers in the case objected to putting him on the jury.<BR/><BR/>"I was a little surprised," Kerry said of being selected for jury duty.<BR/><BR/>"I enjoyed it," he said. "It was very, very interesting and very instructive."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1132766803947409162005-11-23T09:26:00.000-08:002005-11-23T09:26:00.000-08:00I didn't know how to include an image in a comment...I didn't know how to include an image in a comment so I posted it with an earlier time so it would appear under yours.seenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830315020073256903noreply@blogger.com
