I don’t know if it was a California thing or not, but back in the day they used to pay you $5 a day for jury duty. The aerospace company I worked at paid full salary for jury duty days, but for a while they required your to reimburse the company for the $5/day. It sort of makes sense philosophically because you don’t need the court compensation if you’re getting guilt paid, but it always seemed kind of cheap. I think they stopped that because they realized it was costing them more to process the reimbursement than they were getting from it.
Agreed. Like I said it makes sense philosophically, it’s just the amount is so low it seems miserly.
On the other hand, the company pays full salary for unlimited jury days, which I think is unusual, so I don’t think they’re being cheap at all in reality.
The problem. The problem is there aren’t enough restrooms in the courthouse to accommodate that number of witnesses. The cost of sewage maintenance alone necessitates a delay for the trial.
If there is a limit, I haven’t found it yet. A judge ruled today that Cheesebro and Powell will be tried together. Explain that. Can the witness stand hold 2 chairs?
Don’t forget these witnesses will be paid using your tax dollars. /s
Yep, $40 a day and 65.5 cents per mile.
What! I’m getting robbed at 55 cents/mi!

Malicious compliance does it again!
It hasn’t been that since like 2018. https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/standard-mileage-rates
Damn future past
oops
?
Whats the subtext here? That thats a bad thing?
Witnesses and jurors should obviously be paid in Trump NFTs and 5.56 rounds like TRUE, unbiased patriots. /s
I assume TokenBoomber is implying that the 150 witnesses are being bribed by the DOJ with your tax dollars.
Sarcastically implying.
“Sarcastically”

You mean like all trials? What’s the problem with that?
The problem. The problem is there aren’t enough restrooms in the courthouse to accommodate that number of witnesses. The cost of sewage maintenance alone necessitates a delay for the trial.
What are you even talking about? Are you drunk?
They are just static.
If you can’t win, cause confusion.
Even worse, the witness stand can’t accommodate 150 witnesses at the same time!
/s
My goodness, does the amount of dumb things you say have no limit? 
If there is a limit, I haven’t found it yet. A judge ruled today that Cheesebro and Powell will be tried together. Explain that. Can the witness stand hold 2 chairs?
Uh… You do know that the people on trial don’t sit in the witness stand the whole time, right?
Lmfao how is everyone missing that this is a joke? Nice username btw.
Oh Patricia, you’re just so random. I’m sure you were hilarious in middle school.
Is recess over. You’re hilarious now.
Witnesses don’t have to attend all 4+months of the trial, only days they’re needed/scheduled to attend.
Woosh.
Maybe /s does need to be implemented here after all.
