   If you're a registered voter you've more than likely received a jury summons. It's all part of our civic duty. But today potential jurors who showed up at the Nueces county courthouse for duty were shocked to see an overwhelming turn out.

   With so many people there, tempers flared and even the fire marshal was called out.

   Anyone who's ever had to be at the Nueces county courthouse on a Monday morning knows its almost impossible to find a parking space.

   And today was no exception. But what really set tempers flaring were the number of people waiting inside to report for jury duty.

   Watch Rudy Trevino's report for more information.

OKay. This goes on camera and quotes the numbers of how many potential jurors the courts requested. She is going to try to convince us that she did not know ahead of time how many were called and that she knew ahead of time that the number called exceeded the capacity of the room? Come on lady. I am a teacher and we are trying to teach our students math, and our government leaders cant even do at their level. Give me a break.

NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. CORPUS CHRISTI HAS THE MOST IGNORANT SELF CENTERED PEOPLE. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE TURNING LANES SO THEY HOLD UP TRAFFIC AND DART OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR TURN SIGNALS, AND THEY REFUSE TO SLOW DOWN AT SCHOOL ZONES...THE WORST ONES ARE THE IDIOTS THAT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ITS RAINING AND CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND NEAR MISSES. CORPUS CHRISTI PEOPLE ARE SO UNDER EDUCATED ITS RIDICULOUS

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
