Product Placement in Jury Requests
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 03/01/2007 - 10:51
It has now come out that yesterday at around 3:30 in the afternoon, the jury sent another request for supplies: "We would like another big Post-it pad. The large one for the easel."
Around the jury room, there are jokes about this. “The Libby trial, sponsored by Post-It”, “We need another contest, What will be the next office supply they request?” “I just hope they don’t try to make a three dimensional representation of the case.”
People are in good spirits here this morning; reporters are all dressed up, hoping for a verdict today. Many of them have bets on as to when the verdict would be. Some thought it would be today. Others thought it would have happened already. Not many people have been thinking it would go past today.
Updated: Additional jokes, "I thought it said, 'The floorperson is a weasel."
There was also some griping wondering why it took so long for this to come out to the media. Maybe some people thought it wasn't that important. Others view this as a bad sign. If they need another whole new pad, it sounds like they might not be all that close to a verdict. It can take a long time to fill up one of those pads.
Update 10:50 It is fairly quiet here. Nothing much going on other than people typing on their laptops. I have jokingly added an advertisement for the Post It Easels on my website. Any purchases go through Amazon and help pay for my trip to DC.
No verdict today?

Have a safe trip back to CT and good luck to your daughter and her burgeoning literary career. I seem to recall a 14 yr old from Concord, MA publishing a vampire novel with Random House a few years ago. See you around in SL.
SL

It is looking more and more likely that I will watch the jury verdict from home. At least I'll have a much better sense of what is going with the media when the verdict comes out, and will be watching to see what some of my new found friends say and write.
