    There are quite a few bodily functions we are expected to control in public, with real legal consequences if we can’t. Falling asleep while driving, or (intentionally) dropping a deuce in the jurrybox during trial as some quick examples.

      erections? peeing your pants? farting? there are no legal consequences to any I can think of. maybe if you do them intentionally, there are indirect consequences, but we aren’t talking about grabbing a pillow and setting up for a nap in the jury box here. just nodding off.

      edit: aha I see you made an edit with examples. no fair

          ur just silly. No one is asking you to drive in that situation. even then, you haven’t broken the law and there are no direct consequences. if you hit someone else, there are indirect legal consequences. that wasn’t totally bad though, any other examples?

            Ahh, my mistake. I thought we were discussing this in good faith. I’ll let you continue to be intentionally obtuse on your own now.

              sorry if that was flippant but I thought you were the one who had left good faith with your answer. agreed to agree to disagree. I stand by my original point that the juror you saw that got into trouble by nodding off was being treated badly and if they were punished it’s an injustice and a reason everyone should avoid jury duty. I hope it’s not real. have a good day.
