He spent a lot of that time complaining about how the media glorified criminals and talking about a horrible murder case from April of 1963 in which an Earl Wooster High School student committed the murder. One of the most brutal in Nevada history and still reads like something out of Jack the Ripper's crimes in London. And he really went into the details of how this Earl Wooster High School killed an English female Olympic skier living and working in Reno, Nevada. The cop demonstrated what not to do in front of a classroom of frightened teens.
I did e-mail the Court Clerk as not to blindside them with something like this. And then they nabbed the wrong person in 1979 in the murder of the teacher's daughter. She did make a false confession it turned out 35 years later but had been a paranoid schizophrenic at the time of the false confession. They did a DNA test on a cigarette at the crime scene and got the right person in Rodney Halbower in 2014. Halbower is linked to five murders of women and teen age girls in San Mateo County, CA in 1976.
This would still have been hard for me to talk about as the teacher's daughter was murdered on my birthday. So I am reminded of it a few times a day. Hard to talk about this especially in a room full of strangers. I did tell the Clerk of the Court about this in an e-mail.
Easy facts to check for them too. Quite a lot of media coverage of both of these murders connected to Earl Wooster High School. The London papers really sensationalized the 1963 murder sharing the nightmarish details. The Reno papers were more considerate. The national grocery store rags did what you would expect.

Beside this monster Thomas Lee Bean, Earl Wooster High School has some very well known alumni. Greg LeMond (Class of 1979) the Tour de France winner over a number of years, for instance. His sister or one of them was in a few of my classes. Patty Sheehan, the golfer (Class of 1974) She was there before I started, however. I was Class of 1976 having taken correspondence courses my Junior year to get out of high school a year early with a small Michelle Mitchell Memorial Scholarship given to me by the family. I did miss Prom though.

I kind of wonder if the Jury Duty for this session is still going on?
The last I looked Bean is still in prison in Nevada.
