MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., Sept. 2 (UPI) -- A Michigan juror who posted a Facebook comment on a trial in progress was dismissed, ordered to pay a fine, and to write an essay on the right to a jury trial.

Hadley Jons, 20, of Warren, wrote she was "actually excited for jury duty tomorrow. It's gonna be fun to tell the defendant they're guilty," the Royal Oak Daily Tribune reported Thursday.

Judge Diane Druzinski in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens told Jons she had wrongly already made up her mind on the verdict and ordered the $250 fine and the essay on the Sixth Amendment, which is due Oct 1.

Jons posted her comment Aug. 11, the off day between two trial dates in the case of a 40-year-old Clinton Township woman charged with the felony of resisting arrest and a misdemeanor

Jaxon Goodman, who graduated from high school this year and is clerking for his mother, defense attorney Saleema Goodman Sheikh, found Jons' posting while researching jurors.

"Maybe (the court order) will make her think about the importance of being a juror in the court system. It's better than just telling her it was wrong," said Goodman.

"I found (the posting) very disconcerting," Goodman Sheikh said, adding that she would have liked Jons ordered to a night in prison.

Jail time "would be life altering and life lasting," she said.
