Norman Chad Kicked Off Jury For Tweeting

Norman Chad is well known amongst poker fans as the wise-cracking commentator during the World Series of Poker on ESPN. He recently was sequestered for jury duty, but got into a little hot water from the acting judge. Declaring it “a mockery of the justice system,” the judge dismissed Chad after it was discovered that he was sending tweets through his phone while listening to testimony. He will also have to return next week to face contempt charges.

Although the tweets were relatively harmless, the judge says it could set a dangerous precedent: “The public who sees these tweets is going to think this behavior is OK,” stated Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Laura Priver.

Here’s an example of the tweets Chad sent out during the trial (click for larger view):

New York Judge Dismisses FTP RICO Case

U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand dismissed most of the charges, brought forth by Todd Terry and other professional poker players almost seven months ago, against several defendants named as owners of Full Tilt Poker and other companies in their corporate tree. The complaint had stated that Ray Bitar, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Erik Seidel, Erick Lindgren, Phil Ivey, among others, had conspired to defraud players for over $150 million.

The judge stated that there was not enough substantial evidence to prove the actions of the defendants caused the events that prevented players from accessing their funds. He went on further to say: “What is clear is that in neither case was the direct cause of the injuries the racketeering offenses alleged in the complaint.”

Although most of the charges were dismissed against the individuals themselves, charges against Tiltware LLC, Vantage Ltd, and Filco Ltd still remain. The plaintiffs were also given extra time to amend their remaining complaints with new evidence.
