Maximum PC PSA: Posting Jury Duty Details on Facebook is a Horrible Idea

As power users, we sometimes find ourselves taking certain things for granted, like the basics of overclocking and how to avoid falling prey to common malware schemes. It’s good to go over the fundamentals every once in awhile, both as a refresher, and as a helping hand to those just getting into the game. That said, do we really need to remind people that posting on Facebook what you learned during jury duty is just plain boneheaded?

Sadly, the answer is yes. Hadley Jons, a 20-year-old out of Warren, Michigan, inexplicably went and posted on her Faceball wall that it was “gonna be fun to tell the defendant they’re guilty” during a day off from the trial and before the case was over.

“You don’t know how disturbing this is,” Circuit Judge Diane Druzinski reportedly told Jons the next day shortly before replacing her.

Druzinski went on to say that she’d like to see Jons “get some jail time, nothing major, a few hours or overnight. This is a jury system. People need to know how important it is.”
