NFL star Darnell Dockett live tweets and orders pizza during jury duty at United States court
AN NFL star might receive a ‘please explain’ from a US court after live tweeting during jury duty, and then ordering a pizza.
AN NFL star might receive a ‘please explain’ from a US court after live tweeting during jury duty, and then ordering a pizza.
Arizona Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett was called up for duty at a US court and documented the experience in a series of increasingly amusing tweets from inside the courtroom.
At one point the three-time Pro Bowl star said he’d ordered a pizza to be delivered to the courtroom, and claimed he had parked his $450,000 car in a handicapped spot outside, with a handgun inside.
Dockett’s day started when he woke up and realised he had jury duty, a fact he seemed none too pleased about.
Anybody knows how long jury duty last ?

His tweeting continued throughout the morning, despite the court bringing in a guard, seemingly to keep him in line.
I wonder if they know I'm tweeting? Oh well, they shouldn't have selected me. They brung in this big ass police officer like gone scare með

He even took a moment to offer legal advice, then offered his own judgment on the hairstyle of a man he came across in another courtroom.
I wish this guy would have told me what his intentions was, I could have helped him plan this out better to get away with it! #badplan

But his best moment came when he apparently asked a court officer if he could grab a bite to eat.
Told he needed to wait, Dockett promptly used a phone app to order a pizza to the courtroom.
I just told this guy Im hungry and he's like I can't leave.. wtf U mean I can't eat! Ok watch this. Im gonna order pizza off this app! F.U.!

The court also might take issue with his selection of parking space and the contents of his car.
They have no idea Im am double parked in a handicap spot out side this court house in a 450k car with a registered pistol. Who am I to judge
