E. Jean Carroll case: Two potential jurors say they believed the 2020 presidential election was stolen

39. Heh. It might be fun to be on a jury together. I did get on one where a tenant was injured by a badly installed stove

Ultimately we found for the tenant — among other things, the landlord was a do-it-yourselfer and installed the appliance himself. Otherwise he was a sympathetic-enough blue-collar immigrant character.

One of the things about the experience that I found most interesting was that the fellow juror I had pegged at first sight as being politically conservative was in the building trades and we ended up very much on the same side in this, despite the .skeptical look he gave me on first being seated, as if to say, Is this the Woo Lady?

My dad was an airplane inspector-supervisor, you see, and he was extremely meticulous about anything to do with electricity, plumbing, you name it. He trained my brothers, not me, but I listened. I kept asking questions of the guy in the building trades, and finally we built up a picture that enabled me to say that the landlord had left the unopened packet of instructions on the kitchen counter and had made not one, but 5 errors, in installation.

Thus the tenant opened the oven to check the Thanksgiving turkey and about 5 gallons of boiling water for corn on the cob spilled down her back, because the stove was only a few degrees off-level.
