Motivation On Trial, Juror Put To Sleep

A freelancer checked in with a story that many people in the Sports TV industry can relate to.

.

A well deserved break in his schedule coincided with a summons for jury duty. While cursing himself for not throwing the notice away in the first place, our hero reported to his local courthouse prepared to fulfill his civic obligation.

.

However a 9:00 AM report time following a game and strike the night before left little time for sleep and by now you've probably guessed the result.

.

At one point during the day in court, our man was awakened by the sound of his own snoring.
.

When asked about his less than inspired public performance, he said "You know what happens to me with morning call times. If I can't get to work on time to make $600, you think I'm going to be motivated when they pay us $40?"

.

At least the prosecution will be pleased. Regardless of the evidence, we were told, "This guy swings. And when it's over, everybody in here will swing."

.

We hear ya, brother.
