This is such bullshit!!

"It's really been an honor system thing," said Dr. Robert Alpern, dean of Yale School of Medicine. "If somebody tells us that a pharmaceutical company pays them $80,000 a year, I don't even know how to check on that."

This guy is running Yale--- now that is frightening. If they are required to disclose then ask for a copy of the 1099 they received. How difficult is that---make it mandatory with an automatic termination of tenure for failing to disclose.

It actually is very common for the lawyers in a case to contact jurors by mail. This enables both prosecution and defense the opportunity to understand the jury's view of the case. In PA it is done by mail--no direct contact. This allows the juror the option of not answering. However what is more interesting is that, I thought TPM reported that the Judge precluded defense from polling and contacting Jurors. This stinks to high heavan.
