Another Reason NOT to Avoid Jury Duty

By Wendy Jaffe, Esq.

Just wanted to share this cute story from today's Los Angeles Times. The lesson of course is that we never know where love will find us.

Here it is:

"Love blossomed at a New York City murder trial last year between jurors Traci Nagy and Jonathan Cinkay. They picked up their marriage license last week, and Queens County Supreme Court Justice [in New York, the lower courts are known as "Supreme Courts"] Daniel Lewis, who presided over the case, is to marry them next month, a newspaper reported.
The two made goo-goo eyes on the first day, and fellow jurors encouraged Nagy, 36, to date Cinkay, 33.
The judge said he had noticed that rather than the usual somber panel, this jury seemed "full of beaming, happy people," but he "didn't imagine they were all playing matchmaker."

Unfortunately for the murder defendant, the jurors' love did not include him. He was convicted.
