Because he’s so widely hated, it was difficult to find a jury for Martin Shkreli. Transcripts from the jury selection provide a decent laugh, and juror number 59 really cracked me up.
THE COURT: Juror Number 59, come on up.
JUROR NO. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because —
THE COURT: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?
JUROR NO. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.
THE COURT: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.
JUROR NO. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.
He was already excused, but this man felt it was important to make note of Shkreli disrespecting hip hop legends the Wu-Tang Clan. Well done, sir.
