he court: Juror Number 47, please come up. juror no. 47: He's the most hated man in America. In my opinion, he equates with Bernie Madoff with the drugs for pregnant women going from $15 to $750. My parents are in their eighties. They're struggling to pay for their medication. My mother was telling me yesterday how my father's cancer drug is $9,000 a month. the court: The case is going to come before you on evidence that you must consider fairly and with an open mind. juror no. 47: I would find that difficult. the court: And that's based on your parents' experience with medication? juror no. 47: It's based on people working very hard for their money. He defrauded his company and his investors, and that's not right. the court: Ma'am, we're going to excuse you [...] juror no. 52: When I walked in here today I looked at him, and in my head, that's a snake -- not knowing who he was. I just walked in and looked right at him and that's a snake. brafman: So much for the presumption of innocence. the court: We will excuse Juror Number 52. [...] The court: Juror Number 10, please come forward. juror no. 10: The only thing I'd be impartial about is what prison this guy goes to. the court: Okay. We will excuse you. [...] juror no. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because -- the court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty? juror no. 59: It's my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people. the court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir. juror no. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.
