Quote
Pete Kane:
Your Honor, we'd like to challenge for cause.
Judge Stennis:
Why is that?
Pete Kane:
Oh, Your Honor, the man's an ordained minister. Need I say more?
Judge Stennis:
The juror is excused.
Tom Endler:
Objection, Your Honor.
Judge Stennis:
Basis, Mr. Endler?
Tom Endler:
Discriminatory, Your Honor. Preemptory challenges cannot be used to discriminate against a certain class of juror based on race, ethnic background, religion, or gender. And the fact that religious belief is tangential to this case doesn't change that.
Judge Stennis:
Upon further reflection, I find the respondent's assertion is correct. Sustained.
[meaning Grace]
Judge Stennis:
You're not her pastor, are you?
Rev. Dave:
Uh... no, Your Honor.
Pete Kane:
Your Honor, I must protest here.
Judge Stennis:
Mr. Kane, now, you had a set number of preemptory challenges, all of which you have used. Therefore, it's up to opposing counsel.
Tom Endler:
We accept him, Your Honor.
Judge Stennis:
Welcome to the jury, sir. Henceforth, juror number twelve. I hope you enjoy your service to the community.
Rev. Dave:
[disappointed]
Better chance of being struck by lightning.
