I think this qualifies for ass-hattery. Spoilered for size.

This is awesome
From the jury selection process that took place over three days in June for the trial of Martin Shkreli, an investor and hedge fund founder who is facing eight counts of securities and wire fraud.

It just goes on and on like thisthe court: The purpose of jury selection is to ensure fairness and impartiality in this case. If you think that you could not be fair and impartial, it is your duty to tell me. All right. Juror Number 1.
juror no. 1: I’m aware of the defendant and I hate him.
benjamin brafman: I’m sorry.
juror no. 1: I think he’s a greedy little man.
the court: Jurors are obligated to decide the case based only on the evidence. Do you agree?
juror no. 1: I don’t know if I could. I wouldn’t want me on this jury.
the court: Juror Number 1 is excused. Juror Number 18.
juror no. 18: Both of my parents are on prescriptions that have gone up over the past few months, so much that they can’t afford their drugs. I have several friends who have H.I.V. or AIDS who, again, can’t afford the prescription drugs that they were able to afford.
the court: These charges don’t concern drug pricing. Could you decide this case based only on the evidence —
juror no. 18: No. No.
the court: — presented at this trial and put aside anything you might have heard in the media?
juror no. 18: No. No.
the court: Sir, we are going to excuse you from this panel. Juror Number 25, come forward, please.
