Leon’s Court Case Goes Off Rails B/C Everyone Hates Him

Elon Musk's $44 billion Twitter drama is finally headed to trial"but first came the harder task: finding jurors who don't loathe the world's richest man. Nine jurors were seated Thursday in San Francisco federal court after the judge spent more than five hours slicing through a pool of 93 prospective jurors in the investor class action suit against Musk, according to reporting by Bloomberg Law. Musk's attorney, Stephen Broome of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, argued the hostility in the jury pool was extraordinary. "We have so many people in the venire who hate him so much that we're becoming desensitized," Broome said. In most cases, he added, a juror admitting they "hated" the defendant would be immediately excused.

Oh so it won't really be a jury of his peers.

A jury of his peers would necessitate the opening of the gates of Hell.
