WA: Judge?s handling of juror objection to oath becomes primary election issue

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS

Peninsula Daily News: "Davis, a candidate with Pam Lindquist in the Aug. 17 primary, said incumbent Judge Rick Porter had required a potential juror in a DUI trial to pledging to truthfully answer questions about her qualifications to be a juror, 'so help you God.' The judge uses the term, asking if the juror so swears, and the juror is expected to answer, 'I do.' When the woman objected -- after she was impaneled -- to saying 'I do' to the phrase 'so help you God,' Porter told her to sit in the jury box 'all by herself,' Davis told the audience, saying Porter's actions were unnecessary and suggesting that Porter humiliated the woman." | Via Religion Clause.
