We know that jury duty seems like a drag, but are people that bored that they need to pleasure themselves to keep it interesting? Thirty-eight year old Edwin Ng was on a grand jury at the Brooklyn federal courthouse, but he decided to attend to some personal business during the trial: He was arrested for public lewdness and destruction of government property (he, uh, left something on the carpet) after a courthouse employee saw him fondling himself in the second floor jury reception room. The Daily News says the juror was on a break (we should hope so!) and that it's unclear how it'll affect the grand jury. Well, that's what alternate jurors are for, right? Hilariously, the area where Ng was sitting was "cordoned with yellow police tape" - total crime scene!
Ng could face up to a year in prison and fine, but we're sure the prosecutors will agree to plea, lest Ng get too comfy in a courthouse again.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by three separate, but equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders, and the jurors, who manhandle their junk during breaks and contaminate evidence. These are there stories. Chung chung!
Right now, on the AM New York page with the story, there's an oddly appropriate ad with an image of a lewdly gesturing monkey! This all provided me with the days first belly laugh (with top notes of demented cackling)!
Good one Dave.....no need for me to comment though there are other ways for someone to try and "pull of" getting booted from jury duty.
Great, another pervy asian guy. Way to propagate stereotypes there, Ed!
Calling Carl Monday!
So big deal, it was an Asian guy.
He didn't do it in a crowded subway car like the others. Or, did he stick his kock into the face of a teen.
I've never heard of the Pervy Asian guy stereotype, anyway. All guys are pervs. Name one guy who don't have a pair of binoculars for peeping.
At least he didn't fuk his sister.
yeah, that's the point of this article, to perpetuate a stereotype that Asians are pervs.
huh?
You mean he put a hidden camera in a smoke detector to spy on a tenant?
wasn't he Asian?
wait, I got one, the guy who put a toilet bowl over his head to get a heads up view on a woman doing number two, he's Asian.
I thought asians had small dicks? why would they wank off in public if they had small dicks? The two stereotypes are clashing! arghhh! Racist Malfunction!
Reached for comment afterwards, Ng sounded contrite, stating "No more yankey my wankey, the Donger need food!"
I guess that's ONE way to get out of jury duty! ;)
I guess this is Gothamist's compulsory lurid story for the day. No teen found today in a dumpster after a night of clubbing?
Just a point of correction: grand juries don't have alternates; only petit (trial) juries do.
Although I realize that I have an obligation to perform jury duty, I was really annoyed to be stuck on a grand jury for 4 weeks earlier this year at Manhattan Criminal Court. Many of the cases that we heard were truly horrifying. In addition, some of my fellow jury members were really, really creepy.
